What is the gerund rule for naming skills?

Skills must use an action-first gerund form, such as 'searching-jira' instead of 'jira-searcher'. This naming convention helps Claude better understand the intent and action associated with the skill.

How does this skill improve AI auto-invocation?

It enforces the 'Use when' pattern in descriptions and high-impact keywords, which directly improves Claude's ability to determine when a specific skill should be triggered.

Can I create different types of skills with this tool?

Yes, it supports multiple templates including mcp-caller, code-generator, config-manager, workflow, analyzer, investigator, and more.

What makes a skill 'validated' according to this tool?

A validated skill must meet specific naming rules (lowercase, hyphens), description rules (third person, max 1024 chars), and structural requirements like having a Task section and checklists.
