Create Skill

Bootstrap a new agent skill, then symlink it into .claude/skills/ so Claude Code can discover it.

Arguments

skill-name (required): kebab-case name (e.g., my-skill). Stop if missing or invalid.
--global (optional): install under ~ instead of the current repo.

Resolved Paths

Mode	Skill source	Claude Code symlink
local (default)	`.agents/skills/<name>/`	`.claude/skills/<name>`
`--global`	`~/.agents/skills/<name>/`	`~/.claude/skills/<name>`

The symlink target is always the relative path ../../.agents/skills/<name> so it resolves correctly in both scopes.

Workflow

1. Fetch Agent Skills Docs

Always fetch the latest spec before authoring frontmatter or content:

https://agentskills.io

Use WebFetch to confirm the current SKILL.md frontmatter schema, naming rules, and conventions. Do not guess — the spec evolves.

2. Validate

Reject names that are not kebab-case or collide with an existing skill at the resolved path.
Stop if <scope>/.agents/skills/<name>/ or <scope>/.claude/skills/<name> already exists.

3. Create the Skill

mkdir -p "<scope>/.agents/skills/<name>"

Write <scope>/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md with:

Frontmatter sorted alphabetically, with description last.
A short # Title.
A one-line summary of what the skill does.
## Arguments (if any) and ## Workflow sections with concrete steps.

Keep it minimal. Add scripts/ or references/ subdirectories only if the workflow needs them.

4. Create the Claude Code Symlink

Always create a relative symlink so Claude Code picks the skill up from its own discovery path:

mkdir -p "<scope>/.claude/skills"
ln -s "../../.agents/skills/<name>" "<scope>/.claude/skills/<name>"

5. Verify

test -f "<scope>/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md"
readlink "<scope>/.claude/skills/<name>" resolves to the source directory.
Print both absolute paths to the user.

Notes

Frontmatter rule: sort fields alphabetically, but always place description last.
Bash scripts inside the skill should be compatible with Bash 3.2 (Codex's default shell).
Do not commit the new skill — leave that to the user.
