Creates new skills from the user's repeating patterns. Interview-driven: discovers the task, analyzes failure modes, generates a production SKILL.md, installs it, tests it on a real target, and teaches the user how to use it. Use when a user wants to encode a repeating workflow; do NOT use for one-off tasks or modifying existing skills.
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
# /create-skill — Skill Creator
## Orientation
**Use when:**
- The user says "I keep doing this same thing" or "automate this for me"
- The user wants to encode a workflow they have refined through repetition
- The user says "create a skill for X" or "make a skill that does Y"
**Do NOT use when:**
- The user wants a one-off task done (just do it)
- The pattern has only happened once
- An existing skill already covers this
- The user wants to modify an existing skill (edit directly)
**Output:** A complete `.claude/skills/{name}/SKILL.md` in the project directory, tested and working.
## Protocol
### Step 1: DISCOVER — The Three Questions
Ask these three questions and wait for answers before proceeding.
**Q1: "What do you keep repeating?"**
Listen for: trigger, steps in order, scope, frequency. If vague, probe: "Walk me through the last time you did this."
**Q2: "What mistakes happen when you do it manually?"**
Listen for: forgotten steps, ordering mistakes, convention drift, edge cases. These become guardrails and quality gates.
**Q3: "What does 'done right' look like?"**

How to install
mdr add sethgammon/citadel/create-skill@sha256:f6634fb640d71e86The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.465c020, 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.
