Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Skill Creator

This skill provides guidance for creating effective skills.

## About Skills

Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Claude's capabilities by
providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as
"onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks—they transform Claude from a
general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural
knowledge that no model can fully possess.

### What Skills Provide

1. Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains
2. Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or
   APIs
3. Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
4. Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and
   repetitive tasks

## Core Principles

### Concise is Key

The context window is a public good. Skills share the context window with
everything else Claude needs: system prompt, conversation history, other Skills'
metadata, and the actual user request.

**Default assumption: Claude is already very smart.** Only add context Claude
doesn't already have. Challenge each piece of information: "Does Claude really

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add swamp-club/swamp/skill-creator@sha256:1cd6fed57f66d513

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260128.81e56ac, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
