SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Guides teams to standardize the design, documentation, and packaging of Claude Skills by providing a clear frontmatter contract, a reusable body template, and a scaffold for bundled resources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Frontmatter-driven discovery: name and description are declared in SKILL.md to enable automated skill triggering.
  • Anatomy guidance: recommended structures (Workflow-Based, Task-Based, Reference/Guidelines, and Capabilities-Based) to organize content.
  • Bundled resources blueprint: scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories to host deterministic code, reference docs, and templates.
  • Packaging and validation: built-in scripts (init_skill.py, package_skill.py, quick_validate.py) to initialize, validate, and package skills for distribution.
  • Progressive disclosure design: keeps SKILL.md lean and loads detailed references only when needed.

Quick Start

Run scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <output-directory> to scaffold a new skill, then customize SKILL.md and use scripts/package_skill.py to package it.
