# Skill Creator This skill provides guidance for creating effective skills. ## About Skills Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks—they transform Claude from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess. ## Repo Convention This repo keeps skills under `.agents/skills/` as the single source of truth. Other agent skill directories are symlink mirrors. Create or update skills in `.agents/skills/` and ensure agent skill dirs point to those folders. For small updates to an existing skill, edit the existing `SKILL.md` directly, keep the change narrowly scoped, and run `scripts/sync-skills.sh` afterwards. Packaging is only needed when the user asks for a distributable skill file. ### What Skills Provide 1. Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains 2. Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs 3. Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic 4. Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks ## Core Principles ### Concise is Key The context window is a public good. Skills share the context window with everything else Claude needs: system prompt, conversation history, other Skills' metadata, and the actual user request. *
