## When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:
- **Create new Claude skills** with proper structure and metadata
- **Generate skill packages** ready for distribution
- **Automatically share created skills** on Slack channels for team visibility
- **Validate skill structure** before sharing
- **Package and distribute** skills to your team

Also use this skill when:
- **User says he wants to create/share his skill** 

This skill is ideal for:
- Creating skills as part of team workflows
- Building internal tools that need skill creation + team notification
- Automating the skill development pipeline
- Collaborative skill creation with team notifications

## Key Features

### 1. Skill Creation
- Creates properly structured skill directories with SKILL.md
- Generates standardized scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories
- Auto-generates YAML frontmatter with required metadata
- Enforces naming conventions (hyphen-case)

### 2. Skill Validation
- Validates SKILL.md format and required fields
- Checks naming conventions
- Ensures metadata completeness before packaging

### 3. Skill Packaging
- Creates distributable zip files
- Includes all skill assets and documentation
- Runs validation automatically before packaging

### 4. Slack Integration via Rube
- Automatically sends created skill information to designated Slack channels
- Shares skill metadata (name, description, link)
- Posts skill summary for team discovery
- Provides direct links to skill files

## How It Works

1. **Initialization**: Provide skill name and description
2. **Creation**: Skill directory is created with proper structure
3. **Validation**: Skill metadata is validated for correctness
4. **Packaging**: Skill is packaged into a distributable format
5. **Slack Notification**: Skill details are posted to your team's Slack channel

## Example Usage

```
When you ask Claude to create a skill called "pdf-analyzer":
1. Creates /skill-pdf-analyzer/ with SKILL.md template
2. Generates structured directories (scripts/, references/, assets/)
3. Validates the skill structure
4. Packages the skill as a zip file
5. Posts to Slack: "New Skill Created: pdf-analyzer - Advanced PDF analysis and extraction capabilities"
```

## Integration with Rube

This skill leverages Rube for:
- **SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE**: Posts skill information to team channels
- **SLACK_POST_MESSAGE_WITH_BLOCKS**: Shares rich formatted skill metadata
- **SLACK_FIND_CHANNELS**: Discovers target channels for skill announcements

## Requirements

- Slack workspace connection via Rube
- Write access to skill creation directory
- Python 3.7+ for skill creation scripts
- Target Slack channel for skill notifications

Overview

This skill creates new Claude skills and automatically shares them on Slack using Rube for seamless team collaboration and discovery. It generates a complete, validated skill package with standardized structure, packages it for distribution, and posts a summary and links to designated Slack channels. The workflow is optimized for team pipelines and quick onboarding of new skills.

How this skill works

Provide a skill name and description, and the skill generator creates a directory with standardized folders, a manifest file, and required metadata. It validates naming conventions and metadata, then packages the skill into a distributable archive. After successful packaging, it uses Rube to find target Slack channels and posts a formatted announcement containing the skill name, description, and download links.

When to use it

You need to create a new Claude skill with consistent structure and metadata.
You want automated validation before sharing a skill with others.
You want to distribute skill packages to teammates or a skills hub.
You want instant Slack notifications when a skill is created or updated.
You want to integrate skill creation into CI/CD or internal tooling workflows.

Best practices

Use hyphen-case names to ensure consistent naming conventions.
Provide a clear, one-line description and example usage in the initial request.
Keep assets, scripts, and references organized in their designated folders for predictable packaging.
Run the generator from the project root with write permissions to the target directory.
Configure Rube Slack credentials and target channel names before running automated shares.

Example use cases

Generate a new internal skill for PDF analysis, package it, and notify the docs channel with a download link.
Create a prototype skill during a sprint and automatically announce it to the team for testing and feedback.
Automate a weekly skill bundle generation that validates and packages updates, then posts summaries to a release channel.
Use the generator as part of a PR workflow to create a ready-to-review skill package and notify reviewers in Slack.

FAQ

What Slack setup is required?

You must connect your Slack workspace through Rube and grant permission to post messages to the target channels.

What validation checks are performed?

The tool enforces naming conventions, verifies required manifest fields, and checks that essential directories and files are present before packaging.
