About

You have a workflow you repeat every week. Reports, code reviews, data cleanup. You want Claude to do it your way, every time. But creating a skill sounds technical. Instead, answer a few questions. Claude walks you through what your skill should do, then generates a working SKILL.md file you can use immediately.

Stop explaining the same process to Claude over and over. Start teaching it once and reusing that knowledge forever. Answer questions, get a skill Claude asks what you're trying to accomplish. You describe your workflow in plain English. It generates the SKILL.md file with proper formatting. Capture your exact process The Q&A covers triggers, steps, outputs, and edge cases. Your skill reflects how you actually work, not some generic template. Share with your team Export your skill and hand it to colleagues. Everyone gets the same quality output because they're using your exact process.

Example prompts

Automate your weekly report

/skill-creator I write a weekly status report every Friday. I need to summarize completed tasks from our project board, highlight blockers, and list next week's priorities. Output should be formatted for Slack.

Standardize code reviews

/skill-creator Our team reviews PRs inconsistently. I want a skill that checks for: test coverage, error handling, security issues, and documentation. It should output a checklist we can paste into GitHub.

Create a data cleaning workflow

/skill-creator I clean customer data exports every month. Remove duplicates, standardize phone numbers, validate emails, flag incomplete records. Output a cleaned CSV plus a summary of issues found.

Build a meeting prep assistant

/skill-creator Before client calls, I need to review their recent support tickets, check their usage metrics, and list any outstanding issues. Output should be bullet points I can scan in 2 minutes.

Document your onboarding process

/skill-creator New engineers ask the same questions. I want a skill that explains our repo structure, coding standards, PR process, and deployment workflow. Make it conversational so they can ask follow-ups.
