skill-creator

Creates new skills, either generic for the global catalog or specific to the current project.

Triggers: skill:create, create skill, new skill, generate skill

Two modes of operation

Mode

/skill-create <name>

Creates a new skill that does not exist anywhere. Asks whether it is:

Generic → goes to
```
~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
```
(available in all projects)
Project-specific → goes to
```
.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
```
(only in this project)

Mode

/skill-add <name>

Adds an existing skill from the global catalog to the current project. Copies or creates a reference.

Process: /skill-create

Step 1 — Gather information

Context detection (run before presenting the placement prompt):

is_claude_config = (
  file_exists("install.sh")
  AND (
    project root contains install.sh AND skills/_shared/
    OR basename(cwd) == "agent-config"
  )
)

has_project_context = (
  dir_exists(".claude")
)

if has_project_context AND NOT is_claude_config:
  default_placement = "project-local"   → option 1
else:
  default_placement = "global"          → option 2

Ask the necessary questions to create a useful skill. The placement prompt MUST reflect the detected default using the

[DEFAULT]

marker:

When
default_placement = "project-local"
:

Is this skill for this specific project or for all your projects?
  1. This project only → .claude/skills/  [DEFAULT]
  2. Global catalog    → ~/.claude/skills/

What does this skill do? (one-sentence description)

When should it activate? (what situations trigger its use?)

Are there specific code patterns, commands, or processes it should know about?

When
default_placement = "global"
:

Is this skill for this specific project or for all your projects?
  1. This project only → .claude/skills/
  2. Global catalog    → ~/.claude/skills/  [DEFAULT]

What does this skill do? (one-sentence description)

When should it activate? (what situations trigger its use?)

Are there specific code patterns, commands, or processes it should know about?

When context is ambiguous (neither
has_project_context
nor
is_claude_config
matches):

Is this skill for this specific project or for all your projects?
  1. This project only → .claude/skills/
  2. Global catalog    → ~/.claude/skills/

What does this skill do? (one-sentence description)

When should it activate? (what situations trigger its use?)

Are there specific code patterns, commands, or processes it should know about?

The user can accept the default by pressing Enter or selecting the numbered option. If the user has already provided enough context in the command, skip obvious questions.

Step 1b — Select format type

Before generating the skeleton, determine the skill's format type. Apply inference heuristics first, then always show the result to the user for confirmation.

Inference heuristics (apply in order; stop at first match):

Skill name matches

*-antipatterns

*-anti-patterns

→ infer

anti-pattern

Skill name is a technology or library name (e.g., contains a known framework name, version suffix like
```
-19
```
,
```
-5
```
,
```
-4
```
, or a language name) → infer
```
reference
```
Skill name starts with an action verb or matches SDD/meta-tool patterns (e.g.,
```
sdd-*
```
,
```
project-*
```
,
```
memory-*
```
,
```
deploy-*
```
,
```
run-*
```
) → infer
```
procedural
```
No match → no inference; ask the user directly

Always present the format to the user before proceeding:

Format type for this skill:
  Inferred: [procedural | reference | anti-pattern | none — please select]

Available formats (full contract: docs/format-types.md):
  1. procedural   — orchestrates a sequence of steps (SDD phases, meta-tools, workflows)
  2. reference    — provides patterns and examples for a technology or library
  3. anti-pattern — catalogs things to avoid (use for anti-pattern-focused skills)

Confirm [1/2/3] or press Enter to accept inferred:

docs/format-types.md

does not exist:

⚠️ WARNING: docs/format-types.md not found — skill-format-types change may not be applied.
Defaulting to procedural format.

Continue with

procedural

and do not block skill creation.

Store the confirmed format as

$SELECTED_FORMAT

for use in Step 3.

Step 2 — If project skill: analyze the code

Read the existing project code to:

Detect real patterns to document
Find real examples to include in the skill
Identify existing anti-patterns that must be avoided

Step 3 — Generate the skill

Generate the skeleton based on

$SELECTED_FORMAT

from Step 1b. Each skeleton includes

format: $SELECTED_FORMAT

in the YAML frontmatter and meets the section contract for that format. Full contracts are defined in

docs/format-types.md

If
$SELECTED_FORMAT
is
procedural

### Step 4 — Preview and confirm

Show the content to be created and confirm with the user before writing.

### Step 5 — Create and register

1. Create the file at the corresponding path
2. If it is a project skill, suggest adding it to the project `CLAUDE.md` in the skills section
3. If it is a generic skill, add it to the registry in `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`

## Rules

- Always use real project code as examples when it is a project skill
- Never invent patterns — extract them from existing code
- Minimum 3 code examples per skill (reference and anti-pattern formats)
- Preview and confirm before writing
- Register the new skill in the corresponding CLAUDE.md
- The format-selection step (Step 1b) MUST always run before skeleton generation — a skeleton is never written without a confirmed format type
- The `format:` field MUST be present in the YAML frontmatter of every SKILL.md generated by this skill
- If `docs/format-types.md` does not exist, default all new skills to `procedural` and emit WARNING: "docs/format-types.md not found — skill-format-types change may not be applied"
- Inference is a convenience — the user MUST always confirm or override the inferred type before the skeleton is written
