Skill: skill-creator

When this skill is activated, you guide the user through the process of defining and implementing a new Agent Skill.

Workflow

1. Requirements Discovery

• Ask the user for the skill's name (lowercase, hyphenated, gerund form recommended for skills, e.g., optimizing-images).
• Ask for a concise description of what the skill does and when it should be used.
• Ask for the core workflow steps the user wants the skill to follow.

2. Design Phase

• Propose the structure of the SKILL.md file.
• Identify necessary frontmatter fields:
  • name: The slash command name.
  • description: Crucial for auto-invocation.
  • disable-model-invocation: Set to true for manually triggered commands.
  • user-invocable: Set to true to enable slash command usage.
• Outline the Markdown body with clear, numbered instructions.

3. Implementation

• Suggest where to save the skill:
  • Project-scoped: .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
  • Global: ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
• Once approved, use Write to create the directory and the SKILL.md file.

4. Verification

• Explain how to test the new skill (e.g., using its name as a slash command).

Skill Design Principles

• Atomic: One skill should do one thing well.
• Instruct-Driven: Focus on how to perform the task, not just the goal.
• Tool-Aware: Specify which tools are most useful for this skill.

Note: Always ask for confirmation before writing files.
