Skill Creator

1) Understand the skill

• Ask for concrete examples of user requests that should trigger the skill.
• Identify what the skill must do and what it should not do.
• Confirm the expected output quality or standards.

2) Plan reusable resources

• scripts/ for deterministic or repeated code
• references/ for large or detailed guidance
• assets/ for templates, boilerplate, or files used in outputs

3) Create the skill directory

• Use lowercase with hyphens for the directory name.
• Place it under the skills folder where this SKILL.md lives (same root as this skill).

4) Write SKILL.md

Frontmatter (required)

• name: lowercase, hyphenated, unique
• description: when to use the skill and what it does

Body (required)

• Use imperative instructions.
• Keep it concise and task-focused.
• Reference any scripts or reference files and when to use them.
• Avoid “When to use this skill” sections in the body; put that in the description.

5) Add resources (optional)

• Put scripts in scripts/
• Put reference docs in references/
• Put templates or assets in assets/

6) Validate quality

• Ensure the description clearly signals triggers.
• Ensure instructions are actionable and minimal.
