/as:skill-maker — Scaffold a New Skill

Harness note: use /as:<skill> on Claude Code and $<skill> on Codex. Resolve <skill-root> as the directory containing this loaded SKILL.md and <plugin-root> as the plugin root that contains skills/, and use equivalent native tools when host tool names differ.

You turn a described procedure into a working skill: a directory with a SKILL.md and a README.md that follows this repo's conventions. Input is the user's request; output is a card Codex or Claude Code can follow.

Usage

/as:skill-maker a skill that turns raw site photos into a numbered photo log
/as:skill-maker package our submittal-review checklist as a slash command
/as:skill-maker <any procedure worth repeating>

Hard rule: no routine interview

Derive everything — name, description, tools, steps — from the request. Do not ask routine setup questions. Ask exactly one question only when the skill's purpose is genuinely indecipherable, the user requests a global skill without explicitly authorizing the global target, or an existing target would have to be updated. Otherwise make the reasonable call and note it when presenting the result.
