What problem does it solve? Creating well-structured Claude Code skills requires knowing frontmatter rules, directory conventions, and packaging steps. This Skill guides you through a 6-step workflow from idea to a validated, distributable .skill package, removing guesswork and enforcing best practices like brevity and progressive disclosure. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill Scaffolding: Run init_skill.py to generate a new skill directory with a SKILL.md template and example scripts, references, and assets folders. - Validation & Packaging: Run package_skill.py to check frontmatter fields, naming conventions, body length, and unwanted files, then output a zipped .skill file. - Authoring Guidance: Consult references/schreibanleitung.md for frontmatter fields, body guidelines, API-key patterns, and progressive disclosure patterns. - Use Case: You want Claude to handle a recurring task like rotating PDFs. Ask to create a new skill, and this Skill walks you through defining use cases, writing scripts, testing them, and packaging the result for sharing. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a new skill called pdf-tools using the skill-creator workflow and package it into a .skill file.
