Description
Creates and maintains Agent Skills with effective triggers and progressive disclosure. Use when user requests to create a skill, generate a SKILL.md, build custom capabilities, or mentions "create skill", "new skill", or "skill configuration".

Goal: Create well-structured Agent Skills following best practices for discoverability, conciseness, and progressive disclosure.

IMPORTANT: Skills configuration should be concise and high-level. Only include context Claude does not already know.

Workflow

  1. Read references: skills-docs.md and best-practices.md in .claude/skills/skills-creator/references/
  2. Analyze requirements and determine freedom level
  3. Create SKILL.md using template from .claude/skills/skills-creator/templates/template.md
  4. Add resources(reference files, scripts, etc.) alongside the SKILL.md file only if necessary. Use folder to organize resources.
  5. Save to .claude/skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md and report completion

Rules

  • Only add context Claude doesn't already know
  • Keep references one level deep from SKILL.md
  • Provide one default approach, avoid offering multiple options
  • Use forward slashes in file paths (no Windows-style paths)
  • Match freedom level to task fragility (high freedom for flexible tasks, low for critical operations)

Acceptance Criteria

  • Skill saved to .claude/skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md
  • Name valid (max 64 chars, lowercase letters/numbers/hyphens only)
  • Description valid (max 1024 chars, third person, no "I" or "you")
  • Description includes what skill does AND when to use it
  • SKILL.md body under 500 lines
  • Consistent terminology throughout
  • No duplicate or conflicting skills exist
  • No time-sensitive information included
  • Name defined using gerund form (e.g., processing-pdfs, analyzing-data)
