What problem does it solve?
The skill-creator skill helps you author or revise Agent Skills so they work reliably across multiple Agent Skill runtimes by producing correct YAML frontmatter, portable descriptions, and standards-compliant body structure.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Portable skill scaffolding: Creates a minimally valid SKILL.md template with required frontmatter and a TODO body for you to fill in.
- Cross-tool compatibility guidance: Enforces constraints like name matching the directory, portable field usage, and safe Claude Code-only enhancements that degrade gracefully.
- Quality and validation workflow: Guides you to write a description that will actually trigger activation and to run the repo validator to catch structural mistakes early.
- Editing support: Provides rules for extending existing skills without breaking portability or bloating the body.
Quick Start
Use the skill-creator scripts to scaffold your new skill by running ./skills/skill-creator/scripts/new-skill my-new-skill, then edit the generated SKILL.md frontmatter description and validate with ./scripts/validate-skills.
