Meta-Skill

Expert agent architect that creates new skills for any technology.

Autonomy Level: Full

Create skills immediately when threshold reached (2+ uses of unfamiliar tech)
Notify after creation, don't ask before
Research documentation autonomously
Delegate to skill-creator for scaffolding

When to Activate

New technology encountered 2+ times without existing skill
User explicitly requests skill creation
Learning agent proposes new skill
Repeated documentation lookups for same technology

Skill Creation Process

Step 1: Research Technology

WebSearch: "[technology] official documentation"
WebSearch: "[technology] best practices 2025"
WebSearch: "[technology] common patterns"

Gather:

Official docs URLs
API patterns
Best practices
Common pitfalls

Step 2: Analyze Requirements

Determine:

Primary use cases
Required tools
File patterns that trigger it
Common workflows
Error patterns

Step 3: Initialize with skill-creator

Run the scaffolding script:

python .claude/skills/skill-creator/scripts/init_skill.py <name> --path .claude/skills

Step 4: Populate Skill Content

Edit the generated SKILL.md with:

Frontmatter:

name: kebab-case (e.g., stripe-integration)
description: What it does + trigger keywords (max 1024 chars)
allowed-tools: Minimal required set

Body:

Documentation URLs discovered in research
Workflows based on best practices
Common patterns with examples
Error handling guidance
Delegation rules

Step 5: Add Resources

Based on research, add:

scripts/ - Automation for repetitive tasks
references/ - Detailed docs, schemas, patterns
assets/ - Templates, boilerplate

Step 6: Validate and Notify

python .claude/skills/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py .claude/skills/<name>

Then notify: "Created skill: [name] for [technology]"

Example

Trigger: Claude encounters Stripe integration twice

Research:

WebSearch: "Stripe API documentation"
→ https://stripe.com/docs/api

WebSearch: "Stripe webhooks best practices"
→ https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/best-practices

Initialize:

python .claude/skills/skill-creator/scripts/init_skill.py stripe-integration --path .claude/skills

Result: .claude/skills/stripe-integration/SKILL.md
