SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Existing skill generators are built either for Anthropic's subagent-based environment or for public directory submission, leaving no lightweight path for creating a personal skill that installs directly from a mobile device. This Skill fills that gap with a short Hebrew-language workflow that ends in a file installable with one tap. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Archetype Classification: Sorts every skill idea into style, process, or knowledge archetypes, which determines the body structure and whether testing is required. - Trigger-Optimized Descriptions: Guides writing of the description field with Hebrew trigger phrases, assertive activation language, and explicit anti-triggers naming overlapping skills. - Validation and Packaging: Runs frontmatter validation, then delivers either a single SKILL.md file or a zipped .skill package with a Save skill install button. - Use Case: After refining a writing style together in a chat, ask to turn it into a skill; the Skill mines the conversation history, asks at most three button-based questions, writes the SKILL.md, tests it with realistic prompts, and delivers an installable file. ## Quick Start Turn the process we just used into a reusable personal skill I can install on my phone.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-forge

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a personal Claude skill from my phone?▼

Describe the process or style you want to capture, and the Skill runs a short button-based interview, writes the SKILL.md, and delivers a file with a Save skill button. Tapping that button installs the skill to your profile without any terminal or git steps.

What makes a skill description trigger correctly?▼

The description must contain the exact phrases users type, including Hebrew phrasings, plus assertive activation language and explicit anti-triggers naming overlapping skills. It is limited to 1024 characters and cannot contain angle brackets.

When should I use skill-forge instead of skill-creator or skills-il-skill-creator?▼

Use skill-forge for personal skills meant for your own conversations. Use Anthropic's skill-creator for subagent and benchmark workflows, and skills-il-skill-creator only for public submission to the agentskills.co.il directory.

Why is my skill not activating when it should?▼

The description usually lacks the exact words the user types, or the task is too simple since single-step tasks do not trigger skills. Fix the description first rather than the body, and consider a standing user preference for very small tasks.

How do I update an existing skill without breaking it?▼

Keep the exact original folder name and name field, since a new name installs a second competing skill instead of replacing the old one. Copy the skill to a writable directory before editing because installed skills are read-only.
