SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires yaml, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Skill Creator addresses the challenge of building well-structured Claude Code skills by providing templates, scaffolding, and best practices that standardize frontmatter, content layout, and bundled resources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a ready-to-use SKILL.md frontmatter template and lean body structure
  • Provides example resource directories (scripts/, references/, assets/) to accelerate skill creation
  • Enforces progressive disclosure and XML-based prompts for efficient context management
  • Offers reusable patterns, checklists, and references to ensure quality, safety, and scalability

Quick Start

Initialize a new skill skeleton with a single command, then customize the placeholders:

  • Example: bun scripts/init-skill.ts my-skill --path ~/.claude/skills
  • After initialization, edit SKILL.md and adapt or remove the example files in scripts/, references/, and assets/

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Claude Code skill with valid YAML frontmatter?▼

To create a Claude Code skill with valid YAML frontmatter, use a scaffolding tool to generate a complete SKILL.md file and bundled resource templates. This enforces frontmatter validity and standardizes the content layout.

What is progressive disclosure in Claude Code skill creation?▼

Progressive disclosure in skill creation is an approach that uses XML-based prompts to manage context efficiently. It structures the SKILL.md body to provide only necessary information initially, scaling context as needed.

How do I generate a SKILL.md scaffold and resource directories?▼

You generate a SKILL.md scaffold and resource directories by running an initialization script. This creates example folders like scripts/, references/, and assets/ to accelerate skill setup.

Can I use YAML frontmatter templates for skill creation across multiple projects?▼

Yes, you can use YAML frontmatter templates for skill creation across multiple projects. The templates provide reusable patterns and checklists to ensure consistency, safety, and scalability in your skills.

What are the limitations of using templates for Claude Code skill creation?▼

The limitations of using templates for skill creation include the need to customize placeholders after initialization. You must adapt or remove example files in scripts/, references/, and assets/ to fit your specific use case.
