skill-creator

To create and package modular Claude skills, scaffold the directory using an init script, then customize SKILL.md with required frontmatter fields like name and description, and run validation steps before packaging to ensure consistent discovery and triggering.

A SKILL.md file requires frontmatter with name and description fields for proper discovery and triggering. Optional fields like license and compatibility can be added, while reusable content should be organized into bundled scripts, references, and assets directories.

Organize scripts and references by placing them in dedicated bundled resource directories alongside the SKILL.md file. This scaffolding approach structures reusable content without bloating the main skill document, enabling progressive disclosure.

Progressive disclosure is a content staging approach that loads skill metadata first, then the SKILL.md body, and finally bundled resources like scripts and assets. This pattern reduces ambiguity and accelerates adoption by loading only necessary components.

The skill creation workflow does not require external dependencies or frameworks. It uses bundled scripts like init_skill.py to scaffold the structure and relies on standard SKILL.md frontmatter for validation and packaging across projects.
