Skill Creator

Help the user create a new skill by guiding them through these steps:

  1. Define the skill: Ask what the skill should do, when it should trigger, and what tools it needs.
  2. Create the folder structure: Create a folder in ~/.claude/skills/ with the skill name (kebab-case).
  3. Write SKILL.md: Create the SKILL.md file with proper YAML frontmatter (name, description) and markdown instructions.
  4. Optional files: Create scripts/, references/, or assets/ subdirectories if needed.
