Why should I use the imperative form in SKILL.md?

Writing instructions in the imperative/infinitive form (e.g., 'To accomplish X, do Y') ensures objective, clear communication that is optimized for AI consumption and consistency.

What is the Progressive Disclosure Design Principle?

It is a three-level loading system that manages context efficiently by only providing metadata initially, then the full SKILL.md body when triggered, and finally bundled resources only as needed.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A skill is a modular, self-contained package including instructions, scripts, and resources that provide Claude with specialized domain knowledge, workflows, and tool integrations.

Can I include executable scripts in my skill?

Yes, skills can include a scripts/ directory for Python or Bash code to perform deterministic tasks that require high reliability or would be inefficient to rewrite every time.

How do I start creating a new skill?

You should use the included init_skill.py script which automatically generates a standardized directory structure including SKILL.md and folders for scripts, references, and assets.

Productivity & Workflow

Guides the creation and standardization of modular Claude Code skills to extend agent capabilities with domain-specific knowledge and tools.

About

The Claude Skill Creator provides a structured framework for building, initializing, and refining specialized skills for Claude Code. It guides users through a comprehensive workflow—from conceptualizing use cases and identifying reusable resources like scripts and assets to utilizing the init_skill.py utility for rapid scaffolding. By following its imperative-style design principles and progressive disclosure architecture, developers can transform Claude into a domain-expert agent equipped with company-specific logic, deterministic tools, and optimized context management.
