Skill Creator

Scaffolds a new Claude Code skill with proper frontmatter, invocation block, and SKILL.md spec compliance.

Entry verified April 20, 2026

The short answer

The meta-skill. Writes other skills. Knows the SKILL.md frontmatter fields, the invocation patterns, and the file-location conventions so you don't have to look them up.

When to use it

Every time you're about to write a new skill. Replaces 'copy an existing one and edit'.

Setup

  1. 1

    Save as ~/.claude/skills/skill-creator.md.

  2. 2

    Needs access to your skills directory.

  3. 3

    Invoke: /skill-creator <name>.

Example

You: /skill-creator pivot-sweep — refactor skill that sweeps CTAs with tier policy.
Claude: Created ~/.claude/commands/pivot-sweep.md with frontmatter, description, invocation pattern, 3-step instructions. Review and fill in details.

Caveats

Template gets stale as the SKILL.md spec evolves — review quarterly against Anthropic docs.
