skill-lifecycle-manager

Skill lifecycle management automates the entire process from scaffolding new skills through git versioning, symlink setup for discovery, and automated testing. It handles directory structure, frontmatter validation, and infrastructure checks so you can move from concept to deployed skill without manual overhead.

Use skill scaffolding to generate complete skill structures—simple, bundled, or full—with proper file organization and required frontmatter already in place. This eliminates manual directory setup and ensures your skill meets discovery and validation requirements immediately.

Run comprehensive health checks and validation against your skill's frontmatter, directory structure, git versioning, and symlink configuration. The manager catches conflicts and infrastructure issues before deployment, reducing failed discovery or runtime errors.

Yes. Lifecycle management integrates git versioning directly into skill workflows, tracking changes across iterations, managing symlinks for local testing, and automating discovery checks so each version stays aligned with Claude's infrastructure requirements.

Auto-discovery testing validates that your skill loads correctly, frontmatter is parseable, directory structure matches requirements, and symlinks resolve properly. Quality assurance checks verify infrastructure health and flag configuration conflicts before you commit or deploy.

The manager handles git versioning and symlink management for you, so you don't need deep expertise in either. It abstracts the infrastructure complexity while exposing the skill creation and iteration workflow you care about.
