Skill Creator

Generate new Claude Code skills with correct directory structure, YAML frontmatter, and optional bundled resources.

When to Use

• Creating a new custom skill for a project
• Standardizing skill structure across a team
• Generating skill templates with scripts, references, and assets
• Packaging skills for distribution

Skill Directory Structure

skill-name/
├── SKILL.md          # Required: Main skill file with YAML frontmatter
├── scripts/          # Optional: Executable code for deterministic tasks
├── references/       # Optional: Documentation loaded contextually
└── assets/           # Optional: Templates, images, boilerplate (not loaded into context)
