name: skill-creator description: Create or update agent skills with concise SKILL.md instructions, bundled resources, agent metadata, validation, and packaging. Use when building or refactoring skills.

Skill Creator

Design or refactor skills so they are small, triggerable, and mechanically valid.

Workflow

1. Define the exact user requests that should trigger the skill.
2. Keep SKILL.md short and put deep detail in references/.
3. Add only the scripts, assets, or references that make execution materially more reliable.
4. Generate agents/openai.yaml and validate before packaging.

Scripts

• scripts/init_skill.py initializes a new skill with optional resource folders and agents/openai.yaml.
• scripts/generate_openai_yaml.py writes agents/openai.yaml from explicit interface values.
• scripts/quick_validate.py enforces strict frontmatter, directory naming, agent metadata, and script dependency rules.
• scripts/package_skill.py validates first, then zips the skill for distribution.

Rules

• Keep frontmatter to name and description only.
• Make description do the trigger work: what the skill does and when to use it.
• Match the folder name exactly to name.
• Prefer one focused workflow over a kitchen-sink skill.
• Remove placeholder files and generic boilerplate before publishing.
