Skill Creator

A meta-skill that walks through designing, writing, validating, and packaging a Claude Code skill.

What it does

  • Provides a six-step authoring process for new or existing skills: ①gather concrete usage examples → ②plan reusable resources → ③initialize from a template → ④write SKILL.md → ⑤validate and package → ⑥iterate.
  • Explains the skill anatomy (SKILL.md, scripts/, references/, assets/) with decision criteria for what belongs where.
  • Enforces the progressive-disclosure principle: metadata always loaded, body under ~5k words, bundled resources loaded only on demand.
  • Calls out the details that actually drive skill triggering: writing name/description in third person, using imperative instructions, avoiding duplication between SKILL.md and references.
  • Points to scripts/init_skill.py for scaffolding and scripts/package_skill.py for validation plus distributable zip creation.

Who it's for

  • Teams turning internal know-how and workflows into reusable Claude skills.
  • Authors whose skills never trigger, or whose SKILL.md has grown bloated.
  • Anyone who needs to validate and package a skill for a marketplace or shared repo.

Examples

  1. "I want a PDF editing skill" → collect real prompts, design scripts/rotate_pdf.py as a deterministic helper, then scaffold the skill folder.
  2. "A BigQuery skill" → move table schemas into references/schema.md so SKILL.md stays lean but the details remain discoverable.
  3. "My skill isn't firing when it should" → rewrite the description in third person around trigger situations, run package_skill.py to fix validation errors, and re-ship.

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 00-meta/skill-creator folder from the GitHub repo w95/awesome-claude-corporate-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/w95-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/w95/awesome-claude-corporate-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r awesome-claude-corporate-skills/00-meta/skill-creator ~/.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/w95/awesome-claude-corporate-skills.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r awesome-claude-corporate-skills/00-meta/skill-creator ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Verify with ls ~/.claude/skills/skill-creator that SKILL.md and the scripts/ folder came along. If the scripts are missing, do the init/package steps manually.
  6. Restart Claude Code, then ask something like "help me create a new skill" and it will guide you through the process.
