Skill Creator

This is the meta skill for building and refining other skills. It walks you through the full cycle: capture intent, interview for edge cases, draft the SKILL.md with proper frontmatter, write test cases, run evals, iterate based on results. The process is surprisingly structured, with a three-tier loading system (metadata, body, bundled resources) and specific guidance on keeping skills under 500 lines. One smart touch: it adjusts technical jargon based on user cues, since apparently plumbers and grandparents are now opening terminals to use Claude. If you're creating custom skills or optimizing existing ones with benchmark data, this handles the scaffolding so you can focus on the actual behavior you want.
