skill-creator

Create a Claude Skill by scaffolding a directory with YAML frontmatter containing name and description, a starter SKILL.md file, and organized resource folders (scripts/, references/, assets/). The skill-creator guides you through defining purpose, structuring documentation, and bundling resources to ensure your Skill follows best practices and is ready for distribution.

Organize Skill resources into three modular folders: scripts/ for helper code and automation, references/ for documentation and guidelines, and assets/ for supporting files. This structure keeps your Skill context-efficient, enables progressive disclosure, and ensures dependencies are clearly bundled for users who need them.

Skill-creator enforces hyphen-case naming during initialization and validates your SKILL.md structure against conventions, including frontmatter format, resource organization, and documentation guidelines. This validation prevents common structural issues and ensures compatibility with Claude's Skill ecosystem.

Yes. Skill-creator includes scripts to automatically scaffold new Skill directories with proper structure and to validate and package existing Skills for distribution. These utilities eliminate boilerplate work and ensure your Skill meets packaging requirements before deployment.

A starter SKILL.md provides a template with sections for purpose, features, use cases, and quick-start guidance. Skill-creator shows how to progressively disclose information, integrate your bundled scripts and references, and structure content so users understand both basic usage and advanced capabilities.

Place API documentation and tool references in the references/ folder, then link them in your SKILL.md. Skill-creator guides you through organizing external documentation as context-efficient resources so users have access to reference material without bloating the Skill's core logic.
