What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps writers design, validate, and structure Claude Code Skills by enforcing frontmatter rules, directory layout, and best practices, reducing discovery friction and deployment issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Frontmatter validation: enforces name, description, and optional fields to ensure consistent Skill discovery.
• Structured templates: provides clear SKILL.md structure with sections for instructions, examples, and best practices.
• Progressive disclosure: supports optional reference, examples, scripts, and assets to keep complex Skills organized and maintainable.
• Troubleshooting guidance: helps diagnose activation or discovery problems and suggests concrete fixes.

Quick Start

Ask Claude to start the Skill Writer by selecting a skill scope and location, then follow prompts to define scope, location, and the Skill frontmatter to generate a valid SKILL.md.
