What problem does it solve?
This skill provides a structured blueprint to create, standardize, and bootstrap Claude Skills, ensuring consistent metadata, resource organization, and an iterative development workflow.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Template-driven initialization: Generates a new skill directory with SKILL.md frontmatter and example resource placeholders for scripts/, references/, and assets/.
- Guided workflow: Outlines recommended structuring patterns (workflow-based, task-based, or reference/guidelines) and promotes progressive disclosure.
- Validation & packaging hooks: Includes quick_validate.py and package_skill.py to check structure and package skills for distribution.
Quick Start
Run the Skill Initializer to bootstrap a new skill:
- Command: scripts/init_skill.py my-new-skill --path skills/public
- After generation, edit SKILL.md to fill in name, description, and core workflow, then validate with:
scripts/quick_validate.py <path-to-skill>
