Automated summary
Creates a reusable skill for Claude Code by generating a structured markdown file with instructions, examples, and optional resources.
Strengths
- Provides a clear template with best practices
- Organizes documentation and code in subfolders
- Ensures actionable and minimal instructions
Limitations
- Only works within Claude Code environment
- Assumes user knows what they want to automate
- May be too rigid for complex skills
When you want to teach Claude Code a new reusable workflow or command.
When the task is one-off or doesn't benefit from being saved as a skill.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only instructs creating new skill files and reference resources within the .claude/skills directory using file_write; it does not involve shell execution, network access, or any destructive actions.

Create Skill
Instructions
When requested to create a new skill, follow these steps:
- Create a new folder in
.claude/skillswith the skill namexyz.md(make name gerund form) - Take the requested input to turn into a re-usable skill
- Be sure to have the description field be very clear on what it does and how to use it - 2-4 sentences max
- Store documentation and sample inputs/outputs in a new sub-folder there
resources/if they exceed several lines or will be referenced for depth. - Generate minimal, clear, actionable Markdown instructions as the primary workflow guide.
- If code or scripts are needed, place them in the skill folder and reference their purpose in this file.

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/skill-creation-mm5t8bvn/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/skill-creation-mm5t8bvn' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/skill-creation-mm5t8bvn/download' --output '.skill-downloads/skill-creation-mm5t8bvn/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/skill-creation-mm5t8bvn/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/skill-creation-mm5t8bvn/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/skill-creation-mm5t8bvn/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.
