name: skill-creator description: Help me create a Claude Code skill. Interviews about the workflow, then generates the skill file.

Skill Creator

Use the interview skill protocol to understand what skill they want, then create it.

Questions to Ask

1. "What task or workflow should this skill help with?"

   • Get the core purpose

2. Propose a trigger phrase based on their workflow. Don't ask - suggest:

   • "Based on what you described, I'd trigger this skill when you say 'implement feature', 'add capability to model', or 'build [feature name]'. Does that match when you'd want this guidance?"

3. "What should Claude DO when the skill is invoked?"

   • Steps, rules, output format

4. "Should this output a checklist, a plan, or take action?"

   • Determines the skill's output mode

After the Interview

Write the SKILL.md file to .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md.

No registration needed. Just creating the file is enough - Claude auto-discovers skills in .claude/skills/.

Skill Structure

Copy---
name: my-skill

Instructions for Claude when invoked.

Description Best Practices

• Use categorical descriptions: "operations involving X" not "create X, make X, add X"
• Include trigger keywords naturally
• Keep it one sentence
