Skill Creator

Create a new skill by generating a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter.

Steps

1. Identify the task pattern the user wants to capture as a skill
2. Write clear, specific instructions that an AI agent can follow
3. Create a directory with this structure:

my-skill/
├── SKILL.md          # Instructions + frontmatter
├── template.md       # (optional) Template files
└── example.py        # (optional) Example scripts

4. The SKILL.md must have this format:

---
name: skill-name
description: "Brief description of what this skill does"
tags: [category1, category2]
version: "1.0.0"
---

# Skill Name

## Purpose
What this skill accomplishes.

## Instructions
Step-by-step instructions for the agent.

## Examples
Concrete examples of input/output.

Guidelines

• Name: lowercase with hyphens (e.g., api-client-generator)
• Description: one sentence, starts with a verb
• Instructions: specific enough that another agent can execute without context
• Include edge cases and error handling guidance
• Add examples showing expected input and output
• Place resources (templates, schemas) as separate files next to SKILL.md
