SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires yaml, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Skill Creator provides a standardized, lightweight blueprint to build Ship Faster-style skills. It helps teams scaffold SKILL.md, organize optional resources (scripts, references, assets), and ensure frontmatter-driven discovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create a complete SKILL.md skeleton with required frontmatter and concise body structure.
  • Provide example resource directories (scripts/, references/, assets/) with starter templates to accelerate skill authoring.
  • Include templates and guidance for initializing, validating, syncing catalogs, linting, and packaging.
  • Use case: A developer wants to add a new skill; they run the initializer to scaffold the folder and then progressively customize SKILL.md and resources before validation and packaging.

Quick Start

  • Initialize a new skill: python scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path skills/<scope>
  • Validate and package: python scripts/quick_validate.py /path/to/skill && python scripts/package_skill.py /path/to/skill
  • Sync catalogs: python scripts/sync_catalog.py
