# Skill Create

Create a skill using the proven skill-creator workflow with research context.

## Arguments

- `$1` - Name of the skill to create (e.g., docker-master)
- `$2` - Path to directory containing research materials
- `$3` - (Optional) Custom output directory path (defaults to plugins/meta/meta-claude/skills/)

## Usage

```bash
/meta-claude:skill:create $1 $2 [$3]
```

## Your Task

Your task is to invoke the skill-creator skill to guide through the complete creation workflow:

1. Understanding (uses research as context)
2. Planning skill contents
3. Initializing structure (init_skill.py)
4. Editing SKILL.md and resources
5. Packaging (package_skill.py)
6. Iteration

## Instructions

Invoke the skill-creator skill using the Skill tool. Use the following syntax:

```text
Skill(skill: "example-skills:skill-creator")
```

Then provide this instruction to the skill:

```text
I need to create a new skill called $1.

Research materials are available at: $2

Please guide me through the skill creation process using this research as context for:
- Understanding the skill's purpose and use cases
- Planning reusable resources (scripts, references, assets)
- Implementing SKILL.md with proper structure
- Creating supporting files if needed

Output location: plugins/meta/meta-claude/skills/$1/
```

If `$3` is provided (custom output location), replace the output location in the
instruction with `$3/$1/` instead of the default path.

## Expected Workflow

Your task is to guide through these phases using skill-creator:

1. **Understanding:** Review research to identify use cases
2. **Planning:** Determine scripts, references, assets needed
3. **Initializing:** Run init_skill.py to create structure
4. **Editing:** Implement SKILL.md and bundled resources
5. **Packaging:** Run package_skill.py for distribution
6. **Iteration:** Refine based on testing

## Error Handling

**If research directory missing:**

- Report error: "Research directory not found at `$2`"
- Suggest: Run `/meta-claude:skill:research` first or provide correct path
- Exit with failure

**If skill-creator errors:**

- Report the specific error from skill-creator
- Preserve research materials
- Exit with failure

## Examples

**Create skill from research:**

```bash
/meta-claude:skill:create docker-master docs/research/skills/docker-master/
# Output: Skill created at plugins/meta/meta-claude/skills/docker-master/
```

**With custom output location:**

```bash
/meta-claude:skill:create coderabbit plugins/meta/claude-dev-sandbox/skills/coderabbit/ plugins/code-review/claude-dev-sandbox/skills/
# Note: When custom output path is provided as third argument ($3), use it instead of default
# Output: Skill created at plugins/code-review/claude-dev-sandbox/skills/coderabbit/
```
