Skill creator

Understand

Establish concrete requests that should invoke the skill and what successful behavior looks like. For an existing skill, inspect observed failures or wasted work before editing. Include only knowledge or constraints that change the model’s default behavior.

Plan

Identify universal steps, branch-specific reference knowledge, deterministic operations, and output assets. When deciding package layout, read references/anatomy.md. Keep each rule in one source of truth and give every reference a conditional pointer.

Create

For a new skill, run:

python ~/.claude/skills/skill-creator/scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <parent-directory>

Replace every placeholder and delete unused example resources. For an update, edit the existing package directly instead.
