What problem does it solve?

The Skill Creator helps you quickly scaffold new Claude skills inside .claude/skills/ by providing standardized entry points, templates, and reference materials, ensuring consistency and quality as you expand your toolkit.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified scaffolding: Generates a complete directory structure for a new skill including SKILL.md and optional reference.md, examples.md, and templates/.

  • Template-driven development: Provides ready-to-use templates for common skill types (reference, examples, and templates) to accelerate creation.

Quick Start

Provide a new skill name under .claude/skills/new-skill and run the scaffold command to generate the skeleton, then populate SKILL.md and templates as needed. For example: create .claude/skills/my-skill with SKILL.md, templates/, and optionally reference.md and examples.md.
