skill-creator_skill

Overview

This skill generates a complete Anthropic-compatible skill package and automates the end-to-end workflow, including branch creation, pull request generation, and local packaging. It provides a reproducible checklist, scripts, and verification steps so you can validate the skill locally and push changes to GitHub with minimal manual work.

How this skill works

The skill collects required metadata (name, description, workflow steps, triggers, inputs/outputs, and dependencies) and scaffolds a structured skill folder with documentation, scripts, and config files. It automates Git operations: creating a branch, committing files, pushing to the remote, and creating a pull request via CLI or API. Finally, it packages the skill for local download and runs simple verification commands to confirm files and contents.

When to use it

• You need a repeatable process to publish new agent skills with consistent structure and documentation.
• You want to automate Git branch creation, commit, push, and PR steps for a new skill.
• You want a local packaged copy of the skill for offline testing or distribution.
• You must validate that all required files, scripts, and workflow steps are present before PR creation.
• You need a checklist-driven approach to ensure completeness and traceability.

Best practices

• Use a clear, kebab-case skill name and a concise one-line description.
• Define explicit workflow steps, expected inputs/outputs, and required tools up front.
• Keep automation scripts small and idempotent so repeated runs are safe.
• Authenticate with GitHub CLI or a PAT before running automated pushes and PR creation.
• Run local verification commands after packaging to confirm file integrity and presence.

Example use cases

• Create a new data-extraction skill with defined triggers, packaging it for QA review and download.
• Automate adding a connector skill that requires Python helper scripts and shell-based deployment steps.
• Onboard contributors by providing a ready-made skill scaffold and a progress checklist to track completion.
• Quickly publish a workflow skill by generating the branch and PR from a template and attaching packaged artifacts.
