meta-builder

name	meta-builder
description	Creates Claude Code primitives (skills, commands, agents) following official best practices. Use when user wants to add new capabilities, workflows, or specialists. Asks clarifying questions to determine the right primitive type.

Meta Builder

Creates skills, slash commands, and agents for your workspace.

Decision Tree

Choose the right primitive:

If the user wants...	Create a...	Guide
Explicit trigger (/command)	Slash Command	COMMAND-GUIDE.md
Auto-discovered capability	Skill	SKILL-GUIDE.md
Parallel specialist	Agent	AGENT-GUIDE.md

See DECISION-TREE.md for detailed flowchart.

Questions to Ask

Before creating a primitive, clarify:

1. Trigger type: "Will you trigger this explicitly (/command), or should I auto-detect when to use it?"
2. Complexity: "Is this a simple prompt or a complex multi-step workflow?"
3. Context isolation: "Should this run in its own context (parallel work)?"

Quick Reference

Slash Commands

• User-invoked only (explicit /command)
• Single markdown file in .claude/commands/
• Best for: daily routines, quick actions, explicit triggers

Skills

• Model-invoked (Claude auto-detects when relevant)
• Directory with SKILL.md + optional modules/scripts
• Best for: complex workflows, reusable capabilities, domain expertise

Agents

• Specialists that run in isolated context
• Single markdown file in .claude/agents/
• Best for: parallel work, deep research, task delegation

Templates

Use templates from templates/ folder:

• skill-template.md
• command-template.md
• agent-template.md

Workflow

1. Ask clarifying questions (above)
2. Determine primitive type using decision tree
3. Read the appropriate guide
4. Use the template to create the primitive
5. Validate against official reference
