Exceptional skill for creating new skills. The description clearly indicates when to use it (creating/updating skills). The content provides comprehensive task knowledge including philosophy (concise design, progressive disclosure), anatomy (SKILL.md structure, bundled resources), and a detailed 6-step process with concrete guidance. The structure is excellent with a clear overview and references to separate files (workflows.md, output-patterns.md) for specialized patterns. The novelty is strong—creating well-designed skills requires understanding progressive disclosure, context window economics, and appropriate degrees of freedom, which would require significant exploration and many tokens for a CLI agent. Minor deduction on structure for potentially dense sections that could be further split, but overall this is a highly effective meta-skill.
