skill-creator

To create a Claude Code skill, add a SKILL.md file with required frontmatter and content sections under the .agent/skills/<skill-name> directory structure. This enforces standardized frontmatter and body sections for discovery and activation.

Discoverable Claude Code skills require frontmatter containing at least the name and description fields. This metadata ensures the skill can be found and activated through the discovery system.

The best way to structure subsystem or workflow documentation is following a research-to-write workflow that enforces a structured SKILL.md body with required sections, safety checks, and explicit integration metadata.

To verify skill accessibility, create the directory under .agent/skills/<skill-name>, add the SKILL.md file, and check that the skill is accessible via the .claude/skills directory.

Yes, the skill-creator meta-skill applies when documenting new subsystems, workflows, or meta-skills, guiding researchers through a repeatable workflow to build well-scoped entries.

The standard skill creation workflow focuses on domain-specific Claude Code skills with a consistent SKILL.md entrypoint, requiring strict frontmatter compliance and structured body sections for safety checks and integration.
