Future Skill Creator

Skills are modular packages that extend Claude with specialized knowledge, workflows and tools — onboarding guides that turn a general agent into a specialist. This skill builds them so the agent can act on the knowledge: a skill that only describes a domain produces the most probable output for that domain, which is the generic one.

Core Principles

Concise is Key

The context window is a public good. Skills share it with the system prompt, the conversation, other skills' metadata and the user's request.

Default assumption: Claude is already very smart. Only add context Claude doesn't already have. Challenge each paragraph: "Does Claude really need this?" and "Does it justify its token cost?" Prefer concise examples over verbose explanations.
