SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyyaml, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Writing well-formed AgentSkills requires knowing the SKILL.md frontmatter rules, directory conventions, and validation constraints; this Skill codifies those rules and provides scripts to scaffold, validate, and package skills correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill authoring guidance: Hard rules for lean SKILL.md files, quoted frontmatter descriptions, and when to use scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories. - Scaffolding and packaging scripts: init_skill.py generates a new skill from a template, quick_validate.py checks frontmatter and naming rules, and package_skill.py builds a distributable .skill archive with symlink-safety checks. - Use Case: You want to add a new 'pdf-tools' skill to your OpenClaw setup. Use this Skill to scaffold the directory, write a compliant SKILL.md, validate the frontmatter, and package it into a .skill file for distribution. ## Quick Start Create a new skill named pdf-tools under the skills directory, then validate its SKILL.md frontmatter and package it into a .skill file.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-creator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new AgentSkill with a SKILL.md file?▼

Run init_skill.py with a skill name and output path to scaffold a directory containing a templated SKILL.md. Optionally pass --resources scripts,references,assets to create resource directories, then edit the TODO sections and validate the result.

What frontmatter fields are required in SKILL.md?▼

SKILL.md frontmatter must include name and description. The name must be hyphen-case, at most 64 characters, and the description must be non-empty, quoted, and free of angle brackets. Optional keys include metadata, homepage, allowed-tools, user-invocable, and license.

How do I validate a skill before packaging it?▼

Run quick_validate.py with the skill directory path. It checks frontmatter presence, YAML validity, allowed keys, naming rules, and description constraints, exiting nonzero on failure. package_skill.py runs this validation automatically before creating an archive.

Does the skill packager handle symlinks safely?▼

Yes. package_skill.py skips symlinks entirely, rejects files that resolve outside the skill root, excludes directories like .git and __pycache__, and writes archive entries in deterministic sorted order for reproducible .skill files.

When should I use scripts, references, and assets directories?▼

Use scripts/ for deterministic executable helpers, references/ for long documentation loaded only when needed, and assets/ for templates or media used in outputs. Keep SKILL.md lean and move lengthy content into these directories.
