Skill Creator

Skills are modular packages that extend Claude with specialized workflows, tool integrations, domain expertise, and bundled resources (scripts, references, assets). The context window is shared — only include what Claude doesn't already have, and match specificity to task fragility: high freedom for open-ended tasks, low freedom (specific scripts, few parameters) for fragile or error-prone sequences. For skill anatomy detail and progressive disclosure patterns, see references/design.md.

Skill Creation Process

Skill creation involves these steps:

1. Understand the skill with concrete examples
2. Plan reusable skill contents (scripts, references, assets)
3. Initialize the skill (run init_skill.py)
4. Edit the skill (implement resources and write SKILL.md)
5. Package the skill (run package_skill.py)
6. Iterate based on real usage

Follow these steps in order, skipping only if there is a clear reason why they are not applicable.
