Skill authoring and evaluation

Create SKILL.md packages and improve them with test prompts, grading and feedback.

Read SKILL.md

Workflow

Anthropic’s skill-creator workflow iterates on skill instructions, trigger descriptions and evaluations. The bundled evaluation workflow uses Claude tooling; install the scripts and reference material together.

Use when

  • Create a reusable agent skill or evaluate an existing skill.

Required inputs

  • Task definition and representative prompts
  • Existing skill, expected outputs and evaluation criteria

Expected outputs

  • Versioned SKILL.md package
  • Evaluation results and revised trigger description

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code plus Python and the bundled evaluation scripts for the documented evaluation workflow.
  • Model calls used by evaluations may incur usage charges.

Installation

Run this command in your project after reviewing the instructions and access terms. Install complete upstream directories to keep referenced rules and scripts.
