To create a new Claude skill, run the init_skill.py script to generate a directory scaffold containing a SKILL.md file with required frontmatter fields for name and description, along with optional resource folders for scripts and references.

The Spec to Test to Develop workflow is a structured skill creation methodology where developers define behavior contracts, validate structural standards, and package the final skill into a distributable .skill archive.

Packaging a Claude skill for distribution involves running the bundled packaging script after customizing SKILL.md and resource directories, which compiles the validated structure into a shareable .skill package file.

Yes, pyyaml is required as a dependency to parse and validate the YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md files, ensuring the required name and description fields meet structural standards before packaging.

Yes, the skill creation scaffold can automatically generate optional resource directories including folders for scripts, references, and assets to organize tooling and documentation during skill development.

Skill validation fails when the SKILL.md file is missing required frontmatter fields, specifically the name and description attributes, or when the directory structure does not meet the enforced behavior contract standards.
