## When to load this skill
- You need to build a new Claude skill that matches Anthropicβs gold-standard structure.
- You are upgrading a legacy skill (single SKILL.md file) into the modular layout.
- You must validate a skill before sharing it with teammates or packaging it for SkillsMP.
- You want to create repeatable automation around scaffolding, validation, or packaging.
## Quick start workflow
1. **Collect requirements** using the prompts in [modules/process-guide.md](modules/process-guide.md#step-1-understanding).
2. **Run the MCP tool**:
```python
adn_skills_creator(
operation="scaffold",
skill_name="my-new-skill",
output_dir="skills/custom",
category="developer"
)
```
3. **Fill in content** following the templates in `modules/core-guidance.md`.
4. **Validate** and **package**:
```python
adn_skills_creator(operation="validate", skill_path="skills/custom/my-new-skill")
adn_skills_creator(operation="package", skill_path="skills/custom/my-new-skill", output_dir="dist")
```
5. Record sources, update `the status banner`, and publish.
## CLI equivalents
- Scaffold: `uv run am-skill-creator scaffold my-new-skill --output-dir skills/custom`
- Validate: `uv run am-skill-creator validate skills/custom/my-new-skill`
- Package: `uv run am-skill-creator package skills/custom/my-new-skill --output-dir dist`
- Upgrade legacy skill: `uv run am-skill-creator upgrade skills/legacy/old-skill`
## Module overview
- [Core guidance](modules/core-guidance.md) β Complete playbooks for scaffolding, validation, packaging, and automation.
- [Process guide](modules/process-guide.md) β Anthropic six-step methodology tailored to Advanced Memory.
- [Known gaps](modules/known-gaps.md) β Validation tasks, pending research, and integration TODOs.
- [Research checklist](modules/research-checklist.md) β Mandatory workflow to capture sources and verify freshness.
## Research status
- Research complete as of 2025-11-08 (see sources above); rerun checklist quarterly or after Anthropic updates.
- Document new sources inside `the Source Log` and [modules/research-checklist.md](modules/research-checklist.md) when revisions are made.
- Update `the status banner` to π’ High after field validation and peer review.

This skill helps you plan, scaffold, validate, and package Claude skills inside the Advanced Memory MCP. It provides command-line and Python interfaces, templates, and a research-driven checklist to produce Anthropic-aligned, modular skills. Use it to standardize skill delivery and automate repeatable packaging workflows.
It scaffolds a modular skill layout from requirements, injects core guidance templates, and runs validation checks against an Anthropic-aligned process. The tool can upgrade legacy single-file skills to the modular format, run automated validation, and output a distributable package. It also tracks research sources and prompts for periodic refreshes to keep skill content current.
What inputs does the scaffold operation require?
Supply a skill name, output directory, and optional category; richer results come from a short requirements spec gathered with the process prompts.
How often should I rerun the research checklist?
Rerun quarterly or immediately after any platform or policy changes that could affect skill behavior or safety.
Can I automate validate and package in CI?
Yes. The tool supports CLI operations suitable for CI pipelines; validate should be a gating step before packaging.
