Skill Content Authoring

A hybrid workflow skill for writing, completing, integrating, and improving SKILL.md files and agent definitions with enforced conventions and a lint step.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 229⑂ 14AI score 7/10Last updated: Apr 27, 2026

What it does

  • Routes authoring work into four explicit paths: write from scratch, integrate an external skill, complete an empty scaffold, or improve existing content.
  • Runs a triage check first — one-off conventions belong in CLAUDE.md, mechanical rules belong in scripts, not in a skill.
  • Enforces frontmatter rules: kebab-case name matching the directory, description starting with "Use when...", under 250 chars, triggering conditions only.
  • Builds a standard body: Overview with skill-type declaration, step-by-step process, a Common Mistakes table (3+ rows), and Inputs / Outputs / Integration wiring.
  • Manages token budget: extract 100+ line blocks to references/, keep the body compact, front-load critical instructions in the first ~5,000 tokens.
  • Closes with bundles-forge audit-skill lint and triages Critical / Warning / Info findings (falls back to a manual quality checklist).

Who it's for

  • Developers maintaining several Claude Code skills or plugin bundles who want consistent quality.
  • Teams adopting third-party skills that must be reshaped to house conventions.
  • Anyone whose skills "never trigger" or whose SKILL.md has grown too long for the context window.

Examples

  1. Hand it a skill inventory from a design doc: "draft all these SKILL.md files" → Path 1 writes frontmatter through Integration.
  2. Drop in a skill copied from GitHub: "adapt it to our conventions" → it reads 2-3 existing skills and realigns description style and sections (Path 2).
  3. Point it at scaffolded but empty directories: "fill these in" → Path 3 writes content, then runs bundles-forge audit-skill.

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OdradekAI/bundles-forge/HEAD/skills/authoring/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/authoring folder from the GitHub repo OdradekAI/bundles-forge into my ~/.claude/skills/authoring/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/OdradekAI/bundles-forge.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r bundles-forge/skills/authoring ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/OdradekAI/bundles-forge.git
  3. Make sure the skills folder exists: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the whole folder so the references/ guides come along: cp -r bundles-forge/skills/authoring ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Verify with ls ~/.claude/skills/authoring — you should see SKILL.md and references/.
  6. (Recommended) Install the bundles-forge CLI per the repo README so the audit step works; otherwise the skill reviews against references/quality-checklist.md manually.
  7. Restart Claude Code and try: "help me write a SKILL.md for a new skill".
