Overview

This skill guides you through creating well-structured Claude Agent skills by gathering requirements, designing the skill package, generating a manifest and supporting files, and reviewing the result. It enforces naming, scope, example-driven design, and marketplace-ready standards. Use it to turn a concept into a ready-to-publish skill with clear instructions and examples.

How this skill works

It walks through four phases: discovery to capture purpose, triggers, scope, and examples; design to choose name, category, description, and structure; generation to create a manifest, instructions, examples, and supporting templates; and review to explain each section and iterate. The skill validates naming conventions, trigger clarity, example completeness, and guideline coverage to ensure quality and safety.

When to use it

• When you need to build a new Claude Agent skill from idea to deliverable
• When you want a consistent, marketplace-friendly skill package and manifest
• When you need to convert user requirements into concrete examples and constraints
• When you want automated checks for naming, scope, and edge-case guidance
• When you need iterative refinement and review before publishing

Best practices

• Start with focused discovery questions: purpose, trigger phrases, scope limits, and example input/output
• Use a concise, trigger-focused description and a lowercase hyphenated name (≤64 chars)
• Provide at least one realistic example with expected output and edge cases
• Include clear constraints and forbidden actions to define safe boundaries
• Separate simple skills (single manifest) from advanced ones that include scripts or templates
• Run a final checklist: naming, trigger clarity, examples, guidelines, and no embedded secrets

Example use cases

• Create a Python code-review skill that checks style, security, and suggests fixes with examples
• Build an API documentation writer that outputs Markdown or OpenAPI snippets with authentication and error sections
• Design a meeting-summary skill triggered by phrases like “summarize meeting” that respects confidentiality rules
• Generate a content-style enforcer that rewrites copy to match brand voice and flagged constraints
• Develop a data-cleaning assistant that provides transformation scripts and test cases
