How do I ensure my custom skill is formatted correctly?

The package_skill.py script includes an automatic validation step that checks for YAML frontmatter requirements, naming conventions, and directory structure before packaging.

What is the benefit of bundled resources like scripts?

Bundled scripts allow Claude to execute deterministic code without loading the entire logic into the context window, making the skill more token-efficient and reliable.

What is a Claude Code skill?

A skill is a modular, self-contained package that extends Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, multi-step workflows, and tool integrations for specific domains.

Can I iterate on existing skills?

Yes, the Skill Creator encourages an iterative workflow where you test the skill on real tasks and refine the SKILL.md instructions or bundled assets based on performance.

How do I start creating a new skill?

You can use the provided init_skill.py script to automatically generate a template directory with the required SKILL.md file and resource folders (scripts, references, assets).

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Guides the development of modular Claude Code skills through standardized workflows and automated boilerplate generation.

Acerca de

Skill Creator is a comprehensive framework designed to help developers build specialized capabilities for Claude Code. It provides a structured 6-step workflow—from initial conceptualization to final packaging—enabling the creation of custom AI agents equipped with domain-specific knowledge, automated scripts, and reusable assets. By leveraging progressive disclosure principles, it ensures that your custom skills remain token-efficient while providing deep procedural knowledge for complex, repetitive tasks.
