skill-creator

Create a new Claude Skill using init-skill.py or init-skill.js to generate a scaffold with SKILL.md, scripts, and references directories. Customize the metadata and content, then run validate-skill to check structure before packaging into a .skill file for distribution.

A Claude Skill requires a SKILL.md file with structured metadata and progressive disclosure content, plus scripts and references components. The skill-creator enforces this structure through validation workflows to ensure consistent discovery and packaging.

Yes. Use validate-skill to check your Skill's structure and metadata quality, then run the packaging workflow to bundle everything into a .skill file. These utilities automate quality enforcement and distribution preparation.

Use the starter templates and example code provided in the skill-creator as scaffolding. Organize scripts for automation logic and references for domain expertise, assets, or tool integrations, following the three-level progressive disclosure loading design.

The skill-creator uses PyYAML for metadata processing, but templates and init scripts handle YAML structure automatically. You primarily edit SKILL.md content and customize components; the framework manages frontmatter formatting.

Modify scripts, references, and assets directories within your Skill scaffold to include tool integrations, domain expertise, and bundled resources. The packaging workflow bundles these components together for distribution and extends Claude's capabilities.
