Skill Forge (Lattice Skill Generator)

A meta-skill that designs and scaffolds new Lattice atoms, molecules, and refiners with every framework convention in place.

Dev & CodingIntermediate17913AI score 8/10Last updated: Jul 6, 2026

What it does

  • Asks what the new skill should do, classifies it as an atom / molecule / refiner, and requires explicit tier agreement before writing.
  • Writes files to the exact conventional paths: skills/atoms/{name}/SKILL.md + references/defaults.md, skills/molecules/{name}/SKILL.md, or skills/refiners/{name}/SKILL.md + assets/template.md.
  • For molecules and refiners, checks knowledge-base/ for an existing requirements doc and settles design questions (composed atoms, generative vs. planning flow, .lattice/ output subfolder, session resume) first.
  • Enforces Lattice's required sections: config resolution, self-validation checklist, anti-pattern scan (5+ items), ambiguity signals, and three-part confirmation gates for interactive molecules.
  • Ends with a completeness check (paths, folder-name/frontmatter match, no TBD/TODO). It deliberately does not validate, sync docs, or deploy.

Who it's for

  • Developers actively contributing skills to the Lattice framework repo.
  • Anyone who keeps forgetting section order or gate wording when hand-writing SKILL.md files.
  • Maintainers who want authoring conventions applied consistently across a team.

Examples

  1. "Add an atom that enforces our error-handling principle" → generates SKILL.md plus a §-numbered defaults.md with real, opinionated content.
  2. "Build a release-readiness molecule" → agrees on which atoms it composes, whether it's generative or planning, and where it writes under .lattice/, then writes the workflow.
  3. "Create a refiner for testing standards" → picks the consuming atom, defines the paths.* config key, and produces assets/template.md with interview-guidance comments.

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:

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.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

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

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/techygarg/lattice.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r lattice/dev-skills/skill-forge ~/.claude/skills/

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

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/techygarg/lattice.git
  3. Make sure the skills folder exists: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r lattice/dev-skills/skill-forge ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Because it reads PROJECT.md, skills/atoms/, and knowledge-base/, run Claude Code from inside a Lattice project directory.
  6. Trigger it with phrases like "create a new skill", "add an atom", or "skill forge".
