Meta Skill

Gather:

• Official docs URLs
• API patterns
• Best practices
• Common pitfalls

Source Verification (Required):

• Cross-reference at least 2 sources for key patterns
• Prefer official docs over blog posts
• Check publication dates (prefer 2024+)
• If sources conflict, note the discrepancy and prefer official stance

Step 2: Analyze Requirements

Determine:

• Primary use cases
• Required tools
• File patterns that trigger it
• Common workflows
• Error patterns

Step 3: Initialize with skill-creator

Run the scaffolding script:

python .claude/skills/claudenv/skill-creator/scripts/init_skill.py <name> --path .claude/skills/workspace

Step 4: Populate Skill Content

Edit the generated SKILL.md with:

Frontmatter:

• name: kebab-case (e.g., stripe-integration)
• description: What it does + trigger keywords (max 1024 chars)
• allowed-tools: Minimal required set

Body:

• Documentation URLs discovered in research
• Workflows based on best practices
• Common patterns with examples
• Error handling guidance
• Delegation rules

Step 5: Add Resources

Based on research, add:

• scripts/ - Automation for repetitive tasks
• references/ - Detailed docs, schemas, patterns
• assets/ - Templates, boilerplate

Step 6: Validate and Notify

python .claude/skills/claudenv/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py .claude/skills/workspace/<name>

Then notify: "Created skill: [name] for [technology]"

Example

Trigger: Claude encounters Stripe integration twice

Research:

WebSearch: "Stripe API documentation"
→ https://stripe.com/docs/api

WebSearch: "Stripe webhooks best practices"
→ https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/best-practices

Initialize:

python .claude/skills/claudenv/skill-creator/scripts/init_skill.py stripe-integration --path .claude/skills/workspace

Result: .claude/skills/workspace/stripe-integration/SKILL.md
