SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Existing skill generators are built either for Anthropic's subagent-based environment or for public directory submission, leaving no lightweight path for creating a personal skill that installs directly from a mobile device. This Skill fills that gap with a short Hebrew-language workflow that ends in a file installable with one tap. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Archetype Classification: Sorts every skill idea into style, process, or knowledge archetypes, which determines the body structure and whether testing is required. - Trigger-Optimized Descriptions: Guides writing of the description field with Hebrew trigger phrases, assertive activation language, and explicit anti-triggers naming overlapping skills. - Validation and Packaging: Runs frontmatter validation, then delivers either a single SKILL.md file or a zipped .skill package with a Save skill install button. - Use Case: After refining a writing style together in a chat, ask to turn it into a skill; the Skill mines the conversation history, asks at most three button-based questions, writes the SKILL.md, tests it with realistic prompts, and delivers an installable file. ## Quick Start Turn the process we just used into a reusable personal skill I can install on my phone.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-forge

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a personal Claude skill from my phone?

Describe the process or style you want to capture, and the Skill runs a short button-based interview, writes the SKILL.md, and delivers a file with a Save skill button. Tapping that button installs the skill to your profile without any terminal or git steps.

What makes a skill description trigger correctly?

The description must contain the exact phrases users type, including Hebrew phrasings, plus assertive activation language and explicit anti-triggers naming overlapping skills. It is limited to 1024 characters and cannot contain angle brackets.

When should I use skill-forge instead of skill-creator or skills-il-skill-creator?

Use skill-forge for personal skills meant for your own conversations. Use Anthropic's skill-creator for subagent and benchmark workflows, and skills-il-skill-creator only for public submission to the agentskills.co.il directory.

Why is my skill not activating when it should?

The description usually lacks the exact words the user types, or the task is too simple since single-step tasks do not trigger skills. Fix the description first rather than the body, and consider a standing user preference for very small tasks.

How do I update an existing skill without breaking it?

Keep the exact original folder name and name field, since a new name installs a second competing skill instead of replacing the old one. Copy the skill to a writable directory before editing because installed skills are read-only.
