Individual skill
skill-dev
Use this skill when creating or refining Claude Code skill definitions. Skills are model-invoked capabilities that Claude activates autonomously based on context. Helps design focused skills with discovery-optimized descriptions, proper directory structures, and supporting resources. Automatically invoked when user requests "create a skill", "make a capability", "add autonomous behavior", or mentions skill development. Ensures skills follow Anthropic specifications with clear activation triggers.
