skill-generator_skill

Overview

This skill generates complete Anthropic-compatible skill packages with a proper directory structure, documentation, and automated download verification. It guides you through requirements gathering, creates all necessary files and scripts, and verifies transfer to your local machine. The skill includes post-download checks and installation guidance to ensure the package is usable immediately.

How this skill works

First it asks targeted questions about the skill name, description, trigger phrases, required functionality, and any scripts or config files. It then builds a directory structure, populates documentation and implementation files, and lists everything prepared for download. Before copying to your machine it displays a file inventory and asks for confirmation, then copies while preserving structure and performs post-download verification with you. If files are missing it offers troubleshooting and regeneration options.

When to use it

• You need a ready-to-install skill package scaffolded quickly
• You want automated verification that files were transferred to your system
• You need consistent directory structure and user-facing docs for a new skill
• You want a reproducible workflow to hand off a skill to other developers
• You need example scripts and configuration files included and documented

Best practices

• Always collect clear requirements first; do not assume features or triggers
• Sanitize and validate names and inputs to avoid path or injection issues
• Keep the main documentation concise and focused on triggers, workflow, and examples
• Include runnable examples and minimal scripts to demonstrate behavior
• Verify files before and after download to prevent missing artifacts

Example use cases

• Create a CSV processing skill scaffold with Python scripts and sample commands
• Generate a multi-endpoint connector skill with configuration templates and usage examples
• Produce a small automation skill that includes bash utilities and an examples folder
• Regenerate missing files after a failed transfer and retry the verified download
