SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Forge expert Claude Code skills by performing in-depth domain research and translating insights into production-quality skill templates that can be immediately deployed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • In-depth domain research protocol that yields a concise, reusable skill blueprint.
  • Structured SKILL.md generation with mandatory frontmatter and a focused core workflow (under 500 lines).
  • Optional extension: references/, scripts/, and assets/ to enrich guidance for complex domains.
  • Use Case: When starting a new domain, run this Skill Forge process to produce a ready-to-use Claude Code skill that encodes expert knowledge.

Quick Start

Describe the domain you want to encode, and I will extract it, then scaffold a new skill folder with SKILL.md frontmatter and a draft workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate Claude Code skills from domain research?

To generate Claude Code skills from domain research, you describe the domain to encode, and the forge workflow conducts in-depth research to synthesize a production-quality SKILL.md template with mandatory frontmatter and a core workflow under 500 lines.

What is the best way to structure a Claude Code skill template?

The best way to structure a Claude Code skill template is using a SKILL.md file with mandatory frontmatter, a concise core workflow under 500 lines, and optional references, scripts, and assets directories for extended domain guidance.

Can I update an existing Claude Code skill workflow?

Yes, you can update an existing Claude Code skill workflow by invoking the forge process to perform domain research and re-synthesize the updated knowledge into your existing SKILL.md template structure.

Does skill generation work without external dependencies?

Yes, skill generation works without external dependencies, as the forge process operates independently to conduct domain research and scaffold the skill folder structure directly within Claude Code.

When do I need to add references and scripts to a skill template?

You need to add references and scripts to a skill template when encoding complex domains that require extended guidance, allowing the generated Claude Code skill to handle advanced tasks beyond the core workflow.
