README

Claude Code Skill Template

A template repository for creating custom Claude Code skills with best practices, documentation structure, and automated release workflows.

Prerequisites

**IMPORTANT:** Before using this template, it's highly recommended to use Anthropic's official **skill-creator** skill from the `example-skills` plugin. The skill-creator provides:

Guided skill creation process with concrete examples
Automated skill initialization with init_skill.py script
Validation and packaging tools
Best practices for skill structure and organization

Installing the skill-creator skill

Ensure you have the example-skills plugin installed (official Anthropic plugin)
The skill-creator skill is available as example-skills:skill-creator
Use it by asking: "Help me create a new skill using the skill-creator"

Why use skill-creator first?

The skill-creator skill will:

Help you understand your skill requirements through concrete examples
Generate a properly structured skill directory automatically
Guide you through the creation process step-by-step
Validate and package your skill when ready

This template repository serves as:

A backup/alternative approach for manual skill creation
A reference for skill structure and GitHub automation
A starting point if you prefer manual setup over guided creation
