Designs and builds a new Claude Code skill folder from a blank page in your own house style, surveying existing skills for overlap, interviewing, getting the design approved, then building and validating it with a preflight script. Use when the user wants to build, create, make, scaffold, or engineer a new skill. Not editing or auditing an existing skill (a hand-edit or skill-audit), publishing one, or general prompt writing.

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 Build

Design and build a complete new skill from a blank page, in your own house style. The skill lifecycle is **build (this skill), then audit ([`skill-audit`](../skill-audit/)), then publish (your publishing step, if you share skills)**; this skill owns the build stage and hands off to the next.

Adapted from `skill-engineer-master` by Antony Evans (edge-brain-lite, https://github.com/antonyevans/edge-brain-lite, CC BY 4.0). Modified: decoupled from the edge-brain research and persistence layer and the public skill marketplaces, re-targeted to a house style the builder records from your own existing skills, and the always-mandatory evals, Gotchas, learnings, and edge-cases requirements demoted to recommendations.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ai-business-tools/claude-code/skill-build@sha256:1467ae4e999a6248

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.e10bf4d, 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.
