Skill Creator
Skill Verified ActiveGuide for creating effective skills
To guide developers in creating effective, well-structured, and maintainable Claude skills by providing best practices, examples, and a clear creation workflow.
Features
- Comprehensive guide to skill creation
- Demonstrates progressive disclosure pattern
- Provides examples of well-structured skills
- Includes utility scripts for packaging and validation
- Emphasizes imperative voice and structured content
Use Cases
- When creating a new Claude skill from scratch
- When updating or refactoring existing skills
- When learning best practices for skill development
- When planning skill components like scripts and references
Non-Goals
- Creating skills for non-Claude platforms
- Providing a direct execution environment for skills
- Automating the entire skill creation process without user input
Workflow
- Understand skill with concrete examples
- Plan reusable components (scripts/references/assets)
- Initialize with init_skill.py
- Edit SKILL.md and resources
- Package and validate using package_skill.py
- Iterate based on usage and feedback
Practices
- Skill development
- Documentation best practices
- Progressive disclosure
- Instructional design
Prerequisites
- Claude Code environment
- Basic understanding of LLM agent concepts
Installation
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skillsRuns the Vercel skills CLI (skills.sh) via npx — needs Node.js locally and at least one installed skills-compatible agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …). Assumes the repo follows the agentskills.io format.

Skill Template
99Template for creating new Agent Skills for context engineering. Use this template when adding new skills to the collection.
Claude Code Skill Builder
98Interactive skill creator for Claude Code and Agent Skills ecosystem. Build SKILL.md files with proper frontmatter, triggers, and structure. Triggers on creating skills, building skills, skill templates, skill frontmatter, allowed-tools, npx add-skill, agent skills.
Lean Ctx
100Context Runtime for AI Agents — 59 MCP tools, 10 read modes, 95+ shell patterns, tree-sitter AST for 18 languages. Compresses LLM context by up to 99%. Use when reading files, running shell commands, searching code, or exploring directories. Auto-installs if not present.
Manus
100Delegate complex, long-running tasks to Manus AI agent for autonomous execution. Use when user says 'use manus', 'delegate to manus', 'send to manus', 'have manus do', 'ask manus', 'check manus sessions', or when tasks require deep web research, market analysis, product comparisons, stock analysis, competitive research, document generation, data analysis, or multi-step workflows that benefit from autonomous agent execution with parallel processing.
Risk Management
100Risk management domain knowledge for trading agents — affective state monitoring, position sizing, drawdown management, tilt detection, and behavioral guardrails. Use when checking risk before trades, managing drawdowns, detecting behavioral drift, or enforcing discipline. Triggers on "risk", "drawdown", "tilt", "position size", "lot size", "confidence", "revenge trading", "overtrading", "discipline".
Setup Gbrain
100Set up gbrain for this coding agent: install the CLI, initialize a local PGLite or Supabase brain, register MCP, capture per-remote trust policy. One command from zero to "gbrain is running, and this agent can call it." Use when: "setup gbrain", "connect gbrain", "start gbrain", "install gbrain", "configure gbrain for this machine". (gstack)
