Skill Create

Creating Skills

To create a new skill use the TodoWrite tool to create a todo list and execute this process in order:

Todo 1: Preperation

Descide on a name for your skill. The name must start with buddy- examples: buddy-list-processes buddy-find-port buddy-list-directories.

Also decide on a description. It should be descriptive enough and long enough that you can tell exactly what the skill does and when to do it, but not too long. No more than a paragraph.

For the remainer of thi procedure we will refer to those as $skill_name and $skill_description.

Todo 2: Create the Directory and File

Use the Bash tool to create .claude/skills/$skill_name and .claude/skills/$skill_name/SKILL.md

Todo 3: Create the Contents of the Skill File

Use the Edit tool to fill .claude/skills/$skill_name/SKILL.md with the skill definitions. Skill files are Markdown with YAML frontmatter.
