Skill Creator

About Skills

Skills are modular packages that extend Qwen Code's capabilities through organized folders containing instructions (and optionally scripts/resources).

Core Principles

Concise is Key

The context window is shared. Only add context Qwen doesn't already have.

Anatomy of a Skill

├── SKILL.md (required with YAML frontmatter)

Skill Creation Process

Step 1: Understand the Skill

• What concrete examples will use this skill?
• What triggers should activate it?

Step 2: Plan Reusable Contents

• What scripts would help?
• What references are needed?
• What templates would be useful?

Step 3: Initialize (Qwen Code)

mkdir -p ~/.qwen/skills/my-skill

Step 4: Edit SKILL.md
