Skill Builder

SkillBuilder — A Claude skill for building Claude skills

Building a Claude skill from scratch has friction. The folder name has to be exactly right, the YAML needs real trigger phrases or Claude ignores it, and the instructions need to be specific enough that Claude actually follows them.

SkillBuilder asks you questions across 5 phases, then generates a complete, ready-to-upload skill folder.

Works in English and Spanish.

What it does

Runs 5 phases in order:

1. Use Case — nails down exactly what workflow the skill should handle
2. Trigger Conditions — writes the description field with phrases users would actually say
3. Workflow Design — picks the right pattern (sequential, multi-MCP, iterative, context-aware, or domain intelligence)
4. Generate Files — outputs the complete SKILL.md ready to copy-paste
5. Validate — runs the full checklist before delivering anything
