Create Skill

Create Skill

Interactive wizard that guides you through creating a properly structured Claude Code skill.

When to Use

• User invokes /skill-creator:create-skill <name>
• User asks "create a skill"
• User wants to add a skill to their plugin

Workflow

1. Invoke Skill Architect Agent

Use the skill-architect agent to help design the skill:

Agent asks:
1. What does this skill do? (Brief description)
2. When should it activate? (Triggering conditions)
3. Should users invoke it directly? (user-invocable)
4. What's the expected workflow? (Process steps)

2. Create Skill Structure

Based on architect's recommendations, create:

skills/<skill-name>/
  └── SKILL.md

3. Generate Frontmatter

---
name: skill-name
description: Brief description from step 1
user-invocable: false  # Only if auto-only
---

4. Add Content Template

# Skill Name

Brief overview.
