Skill Designer
This is the meta-skill that generates other skills from structured JSON specifications. It's used by the auto-generation pipeline to build complete Claude CLI prompts that scaffold out a new skill directory with SKILL.md, references, scripts, and tests. The builder script reads your idea JSON, pulls in three reference files (structure guide, quality checklist, template), checks existing skills to avoid duplication, then outputs a prompt you pipe directly to `claude -p`. The honest take: it's scaffolding automation for a repository that takes skill creation seriously enough to encode conventions, quality rubrics, and dual-axis scoring into a reproducible pipeline. If you're hand-rolling skills, you probably don't need this. If you're batch-generating them, it keeps everything consistent.

Overview
Generate a comprehensive Claude CLI prompt from a structured skill idea specification. The prompt instructs Claude to create a complete skill directory following repository conventions: SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter, reference documents, helper scripts, and test scaffolding.
When to Use
- The skill auto-generation pipeline selects an idea from the backlog and needs
a design prompt for
claude -p - A developer wants to bootstrap a new skill from a JSON idea specification
- Quality review of generated skills requires awareness of the scoring rubric
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+
- No external API keys required
- Reference files must exist under
references/
Workflow
Step 1: Prepare Idea Specification
Accept a JSON file (--idea-json) containing:
title: Human-readable idea namedescription: What the skill doescategory: Skill category (e.g., trading-analysis, developer-tooling)
Accept a normalized skill name (--skill-name) that will be used as the
directory name and YAML frontmatter name: field.
Step 2: Build Design Prompt
Run the prompt builder:
