How does this skill improve my development workflow?

It provides a repeatable, quality-focused process with clear checklists, templates, and validation scripts. This enforces best practices, reduces errors, and helps maintain high standards for all your Claude Code Skills.

When should I use this skill?

Use this skill whenever you are creating a new skill from scratch, looking to make a large AI agent more efficient by breaking it down, or planning to enhance an existing skill with new features or better performance.

What is the Skill Creation Workflow skill?

This skill defines a structured, five-phase process for creating new Claude Code Skills, refactoring complex AI agents into modular skills, and systematically improving existing ones, ensuring high quality and consistency.

What key capabilities does it provide?

It offers three distinct workflows (new creation, agent refactoring, skill improvement), a detailed 5-phase guide from knowledge collection to maintenance, and strict quality standards like file size limits (<500 lines) and token usage targets (<20K).

Productivity & Workflow

Defines a comprehensive, phased workflow for creating, refactoring, and improving Claude Code Skills.

About

This skill provides a standardized and detailed five-phase workflow for the entire lifecycle of a Claude Code Skill. It offers three distinct paths: creating a new skill from scratch, refactoring a large agent into smaller, lightweight skills, and improving an existing skill. Each phase includes specific steps, quality criteria, success conditions, and references to supporting resources like templates and validation scripts. Use this skill to ensure all skills are high-quality, maintainable, and adhere to best practices for structure and context optimization.

Key Features

Provides three distinct workflows: new skill creation, agent refactoring, and existing skill improvement.
Includes actionable resources like a standard skill template and a quality validation script.
Establishes strict quality standards, including file size limits (500 lines), token usage targets (<20K), and activation rate goals.
0 GitHub stars
Outlines a detailed five-phase process from knowledge collection and analysis to integration and maintenance.
Defines clear completion criteria and success metrics for each phase and workflow.

Use Cases

Creating a new, well-structured Claude Code Skill from an idea or a body of knowledge.
Refactoring a large, monolithic agent into a set of smaller, more focused, and manageable skills.
Improving an existing skill that is outdated, has a low activation rate, or exceeds token limits.
