skill-creator

Create a Claude skill by running the skill initializer script with your skill name and desired path. The skill creator enforces required SKILL.md frontmatter (name, description, license), YAML structure, naming conventions, and standard resource directories for scripts, references, and assets.

Package a skill by running the deterministic packager workflow included in the skill creator. It validates frontmatter requirements, YAML formatting, content length limits, allowed keys, and proper resource layout before generating the .skill file.

Yes, the skill creator applies to updating existing skills by organizing bundled resources—scripts, references, and assets—for domain-specific tasks and enforcing consistent structure and naming conventions across modifications.

The skill creator scaffolds resource templates including directories for scripts and references, plus asset organization. It enforces a standard layout that ensures domain-specific tasks are bundled consistently and validate against content length limits and allowed keys.

You need PyYAML installed as a dependency. The skill creator requires understanding of SKILL.md frontmatter structure and YAML syntax. No other specialized environment setup is necessary to begin creating or packaging skills.

The packager validates your skill against frontmatter requirements, YAML structure, naming conventions, and content length limits before packaging. Invalid skills fail validation with the packager, preventing generation of the .skill file until requirements are met.
