SKILL.md
Skill Creator
A meta-workflow for producing other .claude/skills/ skill files. A poorly written skill produces poor results at scale — every ambiguity compounds across every invocation. This skill enforces a rigorous creation process so that every new skill meets a high quality bar. The deliverable is a single SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter, placed in .claude/skills/<skill-name>/.
When to Use This Skill
- User asks to create a new skill
- User asks to improve or refactor an existing skill
- User wants to formalize a repeated process into a reusable skill
- Agent identifies a recurring pattern that should be codified
The Canonical Skill Anatomy
Every skill file MUST follow this structure. Use this as a blueprint when writing.
