AI agent skill
Skill Creator
Scaffold a new AI agent skill from a plain-language job description: folder, SKILL.md frontmatter, trigger description, and a first draft of the instructions.
·
When to use this skill
Use Skill Creator when you know the job an agent should repeat (release notes, PDF fill, repo triage) but you do not yet have a SKILL.md. It is the right starting point for a new Claude, Cursor, or Codex skill rather than pasting a one-off prompt into chat.
When not to use it
Do not use Skill Creator to edit a skill that already works — switch to Writing Skills for that. Skip it when you actually need an MCP server (live APIs, auth, side effects); use MCP Builder instead.
How to install
- Personal install: create ~/.claude/skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md (and any bundled scripts) so Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and compatible agents can load it in every project.
- Project install: commit the same folder at .claude/skills/skill-creator/ so teammates get the skill with the repo.
- Restart the agent session after copying files so it re-scans the skills directory, then ask for the task in words that match the skill description.
What this skill does
Skill Creator turns a sentence like "draft release notes from merged PRs" into a loadable agent skill.
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file. The YAML description is the trigger Claude reads before loading the rest. This skill writes that trigger, the body, and optional script stubs so you are not starting from a blank file.
After it drafts the skill, test the trigger in a fresh session and tighten the description until it fires only on the intended task.
Intended uses
- Bootstrap a personal workflow skill in ~/.claude/skills
- Turn a team runbook into a committed .claude/skills package
- Rewrite a messy prompt into a reusable SKILL.md
