Ce Skill Creator

CE Skill Creator

Use this skill to add new skills or upgrade weak existing skills.

Core asset

• assets/skill_template.md - canonical scaffold for new/refactored skills.
• assets/description_style_guide.md - strict frontmatter description rules.
• assets/trigger_phrase_reference_template.md - template for extracted trigger phrase references.

Recommended sequence

1. Run ce-skill-audit to capture baseline gaps.
2. Create/refactor the target skill using the template asset.
3. Add support files as needed:

• assets/ for templates/checklists/snippets
• references/ for embedded standards/ADR extracts
• scripts/ for deterministic scaffolding helpers

4. Tighten trigger wording in description to avoid overlap.
5. If a legacy skill has phrase-heavy descriptions, move those trigger phrases into references/trigger_phrases.md using the reference template.
6. If you changed skill inventory, invoke ce-skill-registry-sync and update:

• CONTRIBUTOR_INSTRUCTIONS.md section 6A
• .claude/skills/ce-onboard/SKILL.md section 4
• docs/contributor/agent_skills.md

7. Re-run ce-skill-audit and resolve blocker/high findings.
8. Run strict description quality check:

pwsh .claude/skills/ce-skill-audit/scripts/check_skill_description_quality.ps1

Refactor policy for poor skills

When hardening an existing skill, preserve intent but fix structure:

• add/repair YAML frontmatter
• clarify activation cues
• separate long static content into assets/references
• add explicit output and validation expectations

Output contract

For each created/refactored skill, provide:

1. skill name + path
2. trigger description summary
3. any added assets/references/scripts
4. registry updates completed

Constraints

• Keep changes CE-first and repository-specific.
• Do not add evaluation-focused skill families in this workflow.
