What problem does it solve? Creating well-structured skills for Claude requires knowing the SKILL.md format, frontmatter rules, and packaging conventions, which is error-prone when done manually. This Skill guides the entire lifecycle of building a new skill from scratch. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Initialization: Run init_skill.py to scaffold a new skill directory with a SKILL.md template and example scripts, references, and assets folders. - Design Guidance: Apply progressive disclosure principles, workflow patterns, and output patterns from bundled reference files to write concise, effective SKILL.md instructions. - Validation & Packaging: Run package_skill.py to validate frontmatter, naming conventions, and structure, then produce a distributable .skill zip file. - Use Case: You want to build a pdf-editor skill. Use this Skill to scaffold the directory, write the SKILL.md with proper triggers, add a rotate_pdf.py script, and package it into pdf-editor.skill for distribution. ## Quick Start Use the skill-creator skill to initialize a new skill named my-skill and package it into a distributable .skill file.
