skill-creator

To create a valid SKILL.md file, you need frontmatter containing the required name and description fields plus a concise body. This Skill generates a ready-to-use scaffold with compliant frontmatter and starter directories for scripts, references, and assets.

The best way to scaffold a Claude skill is running scripts/init_skill.py with a skill-name and path. This generates a standardized project structure with example resource directories, a template SKILL.md, and tooling for validation and packaging.

You validate and package a Claude skill using the included tooling scripts. Run scripts/quick_validate.py on your skill path to check structure, then use scripts/package_skill.py to bundle the validated skill into a distribution directory.

Yes, you need PyYAML installed as a dependency to generate and parse SKILL.md frontmatter templates. The provided scaffold scripts rely on this library to serialize and validate the required name and description fields in the YAML frontmatter.

A Claude skill should include scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories. This Skill creates these example resource directories with starter files during initialization, enforcing a minimal structure that aligns with project standards for skill creation.
