Skill Creator

Skill Creator

Create new skills to extend MyPicoClaw's capabilities.

Quick Install Instructions

When the user asks to "create a new skill", follow this pattern:

Step 1: Create the directory

mkdir -p skills/[skill-name]

Step 2: Write SKILL.md

Use write_file to create skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md with this template:

---
name: [skill-name]
description: [What this skill does and when to use it]
metadata: {"nanobot":{"emoji":"🔧","requires":{"bins":["tool1"]}}}
---

# [Skill Name]

[Instructions for the agent on how to execute this skill]

## Usage
[Commands or workflows]

Step 3: Confirm

Tell the user the skill is created and will be available after restart.

Key Principles

1. Concise is Key: Only include information the agent doesn't already know.
2. Frontmatter is Critical: The description field is the primary trigger — make it comprehensive.
3. Use exec tool: Skills should instruct the agent to use shell commands via the exec tool.
4. Optional resources: Add scripts/, references/, or assets/ subdirectories only if needed.

Skill Naming

• Use lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens only (e.g., my-skill)
• Keep names short and descriptive
• Name the folder exactly after the skill name
