name: cc-add-skill-local allowed-tools: Read, Write, Glob, Bash(ls:), Bash(mkdir:), Bash(pwd:*) argument-hint: name description... description: Create a project-local Claude Code skill in .claude/skills model: sonnet

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS = {name} {description...}

Parse the arguments:

  • Name: Skill name (first token) - will become the directory name
  • Description: What the skill provides (everything else)

Target Directory

.claude/skills/{name}/SKILL.md (relative to project root)

Workflow

  1. Parse - Extract name and description from arguments
  2. Locate - Find project root (look for .git, package.json, Cargo.toml, deno.json, etc.)
  3. Analyze - Determine:
    • Project-specific conventions and patterns
    • Key practices unique to this codebase
    • Testing approach if applicable
  4. Draft - Create the skill file with:
    • Frontmatter: name, description
    • Concise, actionable conventions
    • Code examples where helpful
  5. Confirm - Show the proposed file path and content
  6. STOP - Wait for user approval (use AskUserQuestion)
  7. Create - Only after approval, create the skill directory and SKILL.md

Skill Format

---
name: { name }
description: { Brief description ending with period }

Content Guidelines

Analyze the {description} to understand the intended purpose, then write the skill file content:

  • In English, optimized for AI comprehension
  • Use clear, imperative language
  • Focus on actionable instructions rather than verbose explanations

Begin

Parse $ARGUMENTS, locate project root, and create the appropriate skill file. Ask for user approval before writing.
