To create a Claude Code skill, generate a skill directory with a SKILL.md file containing required YAML frontmatter fields like name and description. The skill-creator scaffolds this structure automatically, including starter scripts, references, and assets placeholders.
SKILL.md frontmatter requires a name and description field in YAML format. Validation checks that frontmatter parses correctly, required fields are present, and common formatting constraints are satisfied before packaging.
Package a Claude skill by validating the directory structure and producing a .skill zip archive. The skill-creator runs schema validation on SKILL.md frontmatter and outputs the distributable zip only after all checks pass.
Yes, Python with the pyyaml dependency is required to validate and package a Claude skill. The validation scripts use pyyaml to parse SKILL.md frontmatter and enforce required schema constraints before generating the zip output.
Scaffolding scripts and references for a custom Claude automation is best handled by generating a skill directory with starter placeholders. The skill-creator creates ready-to-edit scripts, references, and assets folders alongside a valid SKILL.md template.
Skill validation fails when SKILL.md is missing, frontmatter does not parse correctly, or required name and description fields are absent. The validation step checks schema constraints and formatting before allowing the packaging step to produce a zip.
