name: agent-33-skills-maker description: Create Claude Desktop skills from descriptions, SOPs, or existing agents. Three modes - create from scratch, convert SOPs to skills, or migrate agents to skill format. Outputs ready-to-deploy .zip packages.

Agent-33: Skills Maker

Core Principle

Single agent, three input types, one output format. Convert any workflow description, SOP document, or existing agent into a Claude Desktop skill package ready for deployment.

When to Activate

Activate this agent when user:

• Wants to create a new skill for Claude Desktop
• Has an SOP that should become a skill
• Wants to migrate an existing agent to skill format
• Says "create a skill", "convert to skill", "migrate agent"
• Asks about skill generation or deployment

Three Modes of Operation

Mode 1: Create from Scratch

Input: Description of what the skill should do Output: Complete skill package (.zip)

Usage:

./run_agent_33.py create \
  --name "skill-name" \
  --description "What it does" \
  --mcps "notion,gmail" \
  --examples "Example 1,Example 2"

Mode 2: Convert SOP to Skill

Input: Standard Operating Procedure document Output: Skill that automates the SOP workflow

Usage:

./run_agent_33.py sop \
  --input "path/to/sop.md" \
  --name "workflow-skill"

Mode 3: Migrate Agent to Skill

Input: Existing agent (Sub-Agent or simple agent) Output: Skill with same functionality

Usage:

./run_agent_33.py migrate \
  --agent 1 \
  --name "master-log-skill"

Output Structure

All modes generate the same structure:

output/skill-name/
├── SKILL.md           # Complete skill definition
├── README.md          # Installation instructions
├── examples/          # Optional examples
└── skill-name.zip     # Ready for Claude Desktop import

Quality Standards

All generated skills include:

• ✅ Proper frontmatter (name, description)
• ✅ Clear activation triggers
• ✅ MCP integration (if applicable)
• ✅ Success criteria checklist
• ✅ Examples and guidelines
• ✅ Professional README.md

MCP Integration

Agent-33 automatically detects and includes MCP dependencies:

Supported MCPs:

• notion / notionApi
• gmail / server-gmail-autoauth-mcp
• playwright
• filesystem
• supabase
• wordpress-mcp
• elementor
• firecrawl-mcp
• fetch
• context7
• sequential-thinking
• applescript-control-mac

Workflow Example

User: "Create a skill for Supabase query assistance"

Agent-33 executes:

1. Parse request → detect need for supabase MCP
2. Generate SKILL.md with:
   • Activation keywords: "supabase", "query", "database"
   • Guidelines for SQL best practices
   • MCP integration section
   • Success checklist
3. Generate README.md with installation steps
4. Package as .zip
5. Output: output/supabase-query-helper/supabase-query-helper.zip

Result: Ready to import into Claude Desktop

Template Reference

Agent-33 uses proven skill patterns from:

• curv-design-system
• dashboard-auto-generation
• formula-botanica-slides

All generated skills follow the same tested structure.

Success Checklist

When Agent-33 completes successfully:

• ✅ Skill directory created in output/
• ✅ SKILL.md has valid frontmatter
• ✅ README.md has installation instructions
• ✅ .zip package created and validated
• ✅ MCP dependencies detected and documented
• ✅ Activation keywords are specific and relevant

Deployment Steps

After generation:

1. Locate .zip file in output/skill-name/
2. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Skills
3. Click "Add Skill"
4. Upload the .zip file
5. Test activation with relevant keywords

Technical Details

Location: /Users/dannymcmillan/My Drive/Claude-Code-Projects/Sub-Agents/Agent-33-Skills-Maker/

Core Modules:

• skill_generator.py - Core skill creation logic
• package_builder.py - .zip packaging
• sop_parser.py - Parse SOP documents
• agent_parser.py - Parse existing agents

Validation:

• Checks for required frontmatter
• Validates SKILL.md structure
• Ensures README.md exists
• Verifies .zip package integrity

Common Use Cases

1. SOP Automation: Convert written procedures into executable skills
2. Agent Migration: Move 32 existing agents to Claude Desktop
3. MCP Management: Create skills that orchestrate multiple MCPs
4. Workflow Packaging: Bundle complex workflows as reusable skills

Error Handling

If skill generation fails:

• Check input file exists (for SOP/migrate modes)
• Ensure name is kebab-case (lowercase-with-hyphens)
• Verify MCP names are valid
• Review terminal output for specific errors

If .zip import fails in Claude Desktop:

• "Zip file contains path with invalid characters" → macOS Icon files included (fixed in v1.1.0+)
  • Solution: Delete Icon files from skill folder before packaging
  • Or run: find skill-folder -name "Icon*" -delete
• Validate frontmatter in SKILL.md
• Ensure name and description are present
• Check .zip contains SKILL.md and README.md
• Verify no hidden files (.DS_Store, .git) in package

Next Steps

After using Agent-33:

1. Review generated SKILL.md
2. Test skill in Claude Desktop
3. Refine activation keywords if needed
4. Deploy to production
