skill-creator

Skill creation uses standardized templates and scaffolding to ensure consistent skill definitions. The skill-creator provides a SKILL.md boilerplate with required metadata (name, description), optional resource directories (scripts, references, assets), and validation helpers to package skills for distribution quickly.

SKILL.md must include frontmatter metadata with name and description, kept under 200 lines using progressive disclosure. Optional sections reference scripts, references, and assets. Guidelines cover testing, environment handling, and resource organization to maintain lean, standardized skill documentation.

Yes. The skill-creator provides the init_skill tool to initialize new skills with scaffolded directory structure, example files in scripts, references, and assets folders, and a pre-formatted SKILL.md boilerplate. Specify skill name and output path to generate a ready-to-customize foundation.

Validation and packaging helpers check that SKILL.md meets requirements (metadata presence, line limits, proper resource references) and prepare the skill for distribution. These tools ensure consistency and correctness before publishing or sharing custom Claude skills.

Skills follow a standardized structure: SKILL.md at the root with metadata and content, plus optional directories for scripts/, references/, and assets/. This layout supports progressive disclosure, keeps documentation lean, and organizes supporting resources consistently across all skills.
