name: skill-creation description: Authoritative & opinionated way for creating, updating, validating, and managing skills. Enforces the contextual framework and YAML frontmatter standards required by Claude Code.

Skill: Skill Creation

This skill provides comprehensive skill management capabilities based on the mental framework outlined in context/framework.md.

Routing Logic

Analyze the user's intent and route to the appropriate workflow:

Creation Intents → workflows/create.md

• "Create a new skill"
• "Make a skill for [domain]"
• "Set up a skill called [name]"
• "I need a skill that handles [purpose]"

Update Intents → workflows/update.md

• "Update the [skill-name] skill"
• "Modify [skill-name]"
• "Add a workflow to [skill-name]"
• "Change the description of [skill-name]"

Validation Intents → workflows/validate.md

• "Check if [skill-name] is valid, allow name chars: lowercase, letters, numbers and hyphens"
• "Validate all skills"
• "Is the frontmatter correct in [skill-name]?"
• "Debug why [skill-name] isn't working"

Listing/Browse Intents → workflows/list.md

• "What skills exist?"
• "Show me all skills"
• "List available skills"
• "What skills do I have?"

Framework Questions → context/framework.md

• "How do skills work?"
• "What's the difference between skills and commands?"
• "Explain the skill structure"

Workflows

• workflows/create.md - Create a new skill with proper structure and metadata
• workflows/update.md - Modify existing skills (add workflows, update metadata, etc.)
• workflows/validate.md - Check skill structure and frontmatter compliance
• workflows/list.md - Browse and inspect existing skills

Context

• context/framework.md - The theoretical foundation (Skills → Commands → Agents)
• context/best_practices.md - Guidelines for effective skill design
• context/examples.md - Real-world skill structure examples
