Are there templates available for different skill types?

Yes, this framework includes specific templates for simple skills, complex multi-component skills, and skills that utilize sub-agents.

When should I use a complex skill structure instead of a simple one?

Use a simple skill for focused, single-file capabilities. Use a complex skill (SKILL.md + CLAUDE.md) for multi-step workflows requiring extensive context or multiple sub-components.

How do I make a new skill discoverable by the AI?

Once created, you must add the skill to the available_skills section in your global configuration file (typically KAI.md) so it appears in the system prompt.

What is a Claude Code Skill?

A Claude Code Skill is a specialized capability that enhances the AI's behavior, providing domain-specific guidance, best practices, and implementation patterns for specific tasks.

Productivity & Workflow

Standardizes the development and organization of new capabilities within a personal AI infrastructure using optimized templates and documentation patterns.

About

The Create Skill framework provides a systematic methodology for extending Claude Code's capabilities through the development of specialized domain modules. It guides users through a multi-step workflow that includes defining activation triggers, selecting between simple and complex architectures, and generating standardized documentation like SKILL.md and CLAUDE.md files. By enforcing consistent naming conventions and integration patterns, this skill ensures that new AI behaviors are discoverable, maintainable, and highly effective within a Personal AI Infrastructure (PAI).

Key Features

Dual-layer architecture support for simple and complex skills
Automated documentation structures (SKILL.md and CLAUDE.md)
Guided multi-step creation workflow for new AI capabilities
Global context integration for system-wide skill discovery
Standardized templates for agents and specialized workflows
1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Upgrading simple text-based capabilities into complex multi-file workflows
Standardizing existing AI prompts into a formal, structured skill architecture
Bootstrapping a new domain-specific automation skill from scratch
