What sections are included in an excellence skill?

It generates seven core sections: Opening Context, Design Thinking, Domain Guidelines, Anti-Patterns, Success Criteria, Complexity Matching, and a Closing Principle.

What is an 'anti-slop' skill?

An anti-slop skill is a specialized instruction set that rejects generic, mediocre AI patterns in favor of specific, opinionated, and high-quality design principles curated by experts.

Can I audit existing skills with this tool?

Yes, the workflow includes an audit pass that verifies your SKILL.md against design-excellence best practices and ensures trigger phrases are specific.

When should I use this instead of the standard skill-creator?

Use this for domains requiring taste and judgment, like design systems or system architecture, rather than simple procedural tasks or general documentation.

How does this improve Claude's output?

It forces Claude to commit to intentional design choices and identifies specific anti-patterns to avoid, resulting in more distinctive and professional-grade code.

Generates opinionated, high-craft Claude Code skills that replace generic AI patterns with expert-level domain judgment.

Acerca de

The Excellence Skill Creator is a specialized tool for developers who want to move beyond generic AI-generated code and documentation. It guides users through a structured Scaffold-Craft-Audit workflow to build 'anti-slop' skills—highly opinionated instructions that encode professional taste, define specific anti-patterns, and force intentional design choices. This skill is ideal for establishing high standards in areas like API design, CLI architecture, and frontend systems, ensuring Claude acts more like a senior mentor than a basic pattern-matcher.

Características Principales

Ensures architectural complexity matches the project scope through complexity matching.
Identifies and blocks common AI-generated 'slop' patterns automatically.
