Automated summary
Creates or refactors a Claude Code skill by following a structured template.
Strengths
- Automates the creation of reusable skills
- Leverages a base skill file for consistency
- Supports parameters like skill name and documentation path
Limitations
- Requires strict adherence to a reference skill file
- Limited to allowed tools (Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Task)
- May fail if the base skill is not loaded
Use this skill when you need to create a new skill or refactor an existing one in a structured way.
Avoid it if the skill is trivial or if you are working outside the Claude Code environment with unsupported tools.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill is a meta-skill that only instructs to read another skill and use safe tools (Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Task). There are no destructive or exfiltrating commands, no obfuscation, and no network access. The Write tool is used for its intended purpose.

From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/create-or-refactor-a-skill-mmbizj7v/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/create-or-refactor-a-skill-mmbizj7v' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/create-or-refactor-a-skill-mmbizj7v/download' --output '.skill-downloads/create-or-refactor-a-skill-mmbizj7v/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/create-or-refactor-a-skill-mmbizj7v/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/create-or-refactor-a-skill-mmbizj7v/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Task
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.
Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/create-or-refactor-a-skill-mmbizj7v/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
React Hook Form Best Practices
Development
Master React Hook Form: avoid anti-patterns, manage subscriptions, and handle reset, dirty state, and controlled inputs correctly.
Emotion to Mantine Migration
Development
Migrate Emotion styled-components to Mantine components with style props and CSS modules. Use when converting .styled.tsx files or removing @emotion imports.
Scope Creep Detector
Development
Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
