What problem does it solve? Writing effective skills requires knowing the SKILL.md format, frontmatter rules, and progressive disclosure patterns, and manually scaffolding, validating, and packaging each skill is repetitive and error-prone. ## 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. - Design Guidance: Follow documented principles for concise instructions, degrees of freedom, and progressive disclosure, plus reference guides for workflow and output patterns. - Validation & Packaging: Use package_skill.py to validate frontmatter, naming conventions, and structure, then bundle the skill into a distributable .skill zip file. - Use Case: When you want to teach Claude a new repeatable workflow, such as processing a proprietary file format, use this skill to plan the resources, scaffold the directory, write the instructions, and ship a validated package. ## Quick Start Ask Claude to create a new skill for your chosen task and follow the guided steps from planning through packaging.
