Skill Forge (Lattice Skill Creator)

Creates new Lattice atoms, molecules, and refiners with the correct files, sections, and conventions.

What it does

Scaffolds a new Lattice skill so it lands at the right path with the required sections in the required order.

  • Reads your description, picks the tier (atom / molecule / refiner), and confirms it with you
  • For molecules and refiners, forces a design agreement first: which atoms compose it, what it writes to .lattice/, resume behavior, config key
  • Writes tier-specific sections: Config Resolution, Self-Validation Checklist, Anti-Pattern Scan, Ambiguity Signals, Core Principle
  • Generates companion files: references/defaults.md for atoms, assets/template.md for refiners
  • Final check: folder name matches frontmatter name, no TBD/TODO placeholders left

Who it's for

  • Developers contributing skills to the Lattice framework or extending it internally
  • Anyone who keeps missing section order or confirmation gates when hand-writing SKILL.md
  • Framework maintainers who need consistency across many skills

Examples

  1. "Add an atom that enforces error-handling rules" → tier locked as atom, generates SKILL.md plus a §-numbered defaults.md
  2. "Build a release-prep molecule" → agrees on which atoms it composes and whether it's generative or planning/interactive, then writes the numbered workflow with gates
  3. "A refiner that interviews for testing standards" → picks the consuming atom, defines the paths.* config key, and emits 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:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/techygarg/lattice/HEAD/dev-skills/skill-forge/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 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 /tmp/lattice && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/skill-forge && cp -r /tmp/lattice/dev-skills/skill-forge/* ~/.claude/skills/skill-forge/

⚠ 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. Create the skill folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/skill-forge
  4. Copy the files: cp -r lattice/dev-skills/skill-forge/* ~/.claude/skills/skill-forge/
  5. This skill assumes a Lattice repo layout (PROJECT.md, source/atoms/), so run Claude Code from inside your Lattice project.
  6. Trigger it by saying "create a new skill", "add an atom", or "skill forge".
