SciAgent Skill Creator

A repo-local scaffolder that generates a schema-valid SKILL.md, registers it in registry.yaml, and runs validation for the SciAgent-Skills repository.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 367⑂ 37AI score 8/10Last updated: Aug 29, 2026

What it does

  • Collects the required inputs conversationally: topic, sub-type (pipeline/toolkit/database/guide), category, kebab-case entry name, license, description, optional tags.
  • Runs a duplicate check against registry.yaml and legacy/ before creating anything.
  • Invokes scripts/scaffold.py non-interactively to create skills/{category}/{name}/SKILL.md from the matching template, fill frontmatter, append the registry entry, and run pixi run validate.
  • Enforces description rules via validate_description.py: max 1024 chars, tool keyword within the first 120 chars, no stop-verb openings (Use, The, A, Query).
  • Documents what the agent must still write (Overview, When to Use, Workflow, Recipes, Troubleshooting, References) plus authoring style rules: no color palettes or hex codes, no hardcoded paths, tables over bullets, terse prose.

Who it's for

  • Contributors adding entries to the SciAgent-Skills repository.
  • Maintainers who need many skills produced against one consistent schema.
  • Anyone studying a solid pattern for automating skill-authoring conventions in their own repo.

Examples

  1. "Add a SciAgent skill for PyDESeq2 differential expression" → sub-type pipeline, category genomics-bioinformatics, scaffolds pydeseq2-differential-expression.
  2. "Create a skill for a literature database" → duplicate check, database template, tagged ["databases","literature"].
  3. A description beginning with "The tool..." fails the linter; the script aborts without writing, and you rewrite it to lead with the tool name and re-run.

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/jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills/HEAD/.claude/skills/sciagent-skill-creator/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 .claude/skills/sciagent-skill-creator folder from the GitHub repo jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills into my ~/.claude/skills/sciagent-skill-creator/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r SciAgent-Skills/.claude/skills/sciagent-skill-creator ~/.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/jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills.git
  3. Because the skill depends on repo files (registry.yaml, AGENTS.md, skills/), the best way to use it is to run Claude Code inside the clone: cd SciAgent-Skills && claude
  4. To make it available globally, copy it: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r SciAgent-Skills/.claude/skills/sciagent-skill-creator ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Install Python 3 and pixi so the pixi run validate / pixi run test steps work.
  6. Trigger it in Claude Code with /sciagent-skill-creator or by saying "create a new skill for X".
