SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

The Skill Creator provides a structured blueprint and tooling to design, template, and package new Claude skills, reducing setup time and ensuring consistency across skill units.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured templates for frontmatter and body to standardize skill metadata.
  • Resource scaffolding (scripts/, references/, assets/) to store reusable code, docs, and output placeholders.
  • Packaging workflow that integrates with init_skill.py and package_skill.py to deliver distributable .skill packages.
  • Useful for teams building modular AI capabilities and sharing them across projects.

Quick Start

Install or run the helper scripts to scaffold a new skill, then customize SKILL.md and optional resources:

  • Run: python scripts/init_skill.py my-new-skill --path skills/public
  • Then customize the generated SKILL.md, add relevant scripts/references/assets, and package with python scripts/package_skill.py.
