Automated summary

Creates a new reusable skill pattern for future tasks, with Python and/or TypeScript support.

Strengths

  • Automates skill scaffold generation.
  • Provides Python and TypeScript templates.
  • Registers the skill and generates documentation.

Limitations

  • Requires the user to supply implementation code.
  • Only works within the Claude Code environment.
  • Does not handle complex dependencies.
When to use it

When you want to encapsulate a recurring task into a reusable, well-documented skill.

When not to use it

For one-off tasks or those that don't benefit from reuse.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Create email extraction skill
/create-skill extract-emails
Create Python-only skill for JSON parsing
/create-skill parse-json --python
Create TypeScript-only skill for CSV transformation
/create-skill transform-csv --typescript

/create-skill

Create a new reusable skill pattern for future tasks.

This command will:

  • Prompt for skill name and description
  • Collect the implementation code
  • Create Python and/or TypeScript versions
  • Add to skills registry
  • Generate documentation

Usage:

/create-skill [skill-name] [--python] [--typescript]

Examples:

  • /create-skill extract-emails - Create Python + TypeScript versions
  • /create-skill parse-json --python - Python-only skill
  • /create-skill transform-csv --typescript - TypeScript-only skill

Skill Template:

def my_skill(input_data):
    """
    Skill description.

    Args:
        input_data: Description

    Returns:
        Processed result
    """
    # Implementation
    return result

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 files

This 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.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/create-reusable-skill-mrwakep0/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-reusable-skill-mrwakep0' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/create-reusable-skill-mrwakep0/download' --output '.skill-downloads/create-reusable-skill-mrwakep0/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/create-reusable-skill-mrwakep0/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/create-reusable-skill-mrwakep0/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.

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-reusable-skill-mrwakep0/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.
