What this skill does
Claude Skills Meta-Skill Turn scattered domain material into a Skill that is reusable, maintainable, and reliably activatable: SKILL.md as the entrypoint (triggers, constraints, patterns, examples) references/ for long-form evidence and navigation optional scripts/ and assets/ for scaffolding and templates When to Use This Skill Trigger this meta-skill when you need to: Create a new Skill from scratch from docs/specs/repos Refactor an existing Skill (too long, unclear, inconsistent, misfires) Design reliable activation (frontmatter + triggers + boundaries) Extract a clean Quick Reference from large material Split long content into navigable references/ Add a quality gate and a validator Not For / Boundaries This meta-skill is NOT: A domain Skill by itself (it builds domain Skills) A license to invent external facts (if the material does not prove it, say so and add a verification path) A substitute for required inputs (if inputs are missing, ask 1-3 questions before proceeding) Quick Reference Deliverables (What You Must Produce) Your output MUST include: 1. A concrete directory layout (typically skills/<skill-name>/) 2. An actionable SKILL.md with decidable triggers, boundaries, and reproducible examples 3. Long-form docs moved to references/ with a references/index.md 4. A pre-delivery checklist (Quality Gate) Recommended Layout (Minimal -> Full) The truly minimal version is just SKILL.md (you can add references/ later). YAML Frontmatter (Required) Frontmatter rules: name MUST match ^[a-z][a-z0-9-]$ and SHOULD match the directory name description MUST be decidable (not "helps with X") and include concrete trigger keywords Minimal SKILL.md Skeleton (Copy/Paste) text [command/snippet you can paste and run] Authoring Rules (Non-negotiable) 1. Quick Reference is for short, directly usable patterns Keep it <= 20 patterns when possible. Anything that needs paragraphs of explanation goes to references/. 2. …
