Share Skill

Package one installed skill into a .zip inside a fresh temp folder and open that folder in Finder, ready to hand off.

Steps

1. Identify the target skill from the user's request. They may write /share-skill the /humanize skill, share humanize, or give a path. Extract the bare skill name (strip a leading /, ignore filler like "the" and "skill"). If no skill is named, ask which one.

2. Run the packager, passing the name. Use this skill's own base directory (shown when the skill loaded) for the script path:

   bash "<this-skill-base-dir>/scripts/share-skill.sh" <skill-name>
   

   The script resolves the skill (searching ./.claude/skills, $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/skills, then ~/.claude/skills), dereferences symlinks so the archive is self-contained, excludes junk (.DS_Store, .git, *-cache*, node_modules, __pycache__), zips it, drops the zip in a fresh temp folder, and opens that folder in Finder. Pass a full path instead of a name if the skill lives elsewhere.

3. Report the Zip: and Folder: paths from the script output. Tell the user Finder is open on that folder, and that a recipient installs the skill by unzipping into ~/.claude/skills/ (personal) or a project's .claude/skills/ (project), then starting a new session.

Notes

• Output lands in a readable, date-stamped folder: /tmp/shared-skills/<skill-name>_<YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS>/<skill-name>.zip.
• The zip's top-level folder is the skill name, so it unzips to <skill-name>/SKILL.md.
• The Finder step is macOS-only; the zip is still built on other platforms.
• For richer distribution (versioning, bundling agents/hooks/MCP, a marketplace), package as a plugin with a .claude-plugin/plugin.json instead. See https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins. This skill covers the common case: a single skill, zipped, to send.
