Skill Author

Generate a SKILL.md file for a CLI tool so Claude Code can use it effectively. Use when creating SKILL.md, writing skill files, documenting CLI tools for agents, or making a CLI agent-friendly. Triggers on "generate skill", "create skill.md", "write skill", "skill for cli", "agent documentation".

SKILL.md Authoring

Generate a SKILL.md file that teaches Claude Code how to use a CLI tool.

When to Use

  • After mcp-codegen produces a CLI tool (as part of /convert)
  • Standalone via /generate-skill for any existing CLI tool

Process

  1. Discover the CLI's commands via <cli> --help and <cli> <subcommand> --help
  2. Generate a SKILL.md following the template in references/skill-template.md

Rules

  1. Keep under 500 lines — put extended docs in separate reference files
  2. Show concrete examples for every command
  3. Include the --json | jq piping pattern for data extraction
  4. Mention env var names for authentication
  5. Description field must include trigger keywords for auto-discovery
  6. Do NOT mention MCP in the generated SKILL.md — it's a CLI tool now
