+name: Skill Create
+description: Generates a new Betty Framework Skill directory and manifest. Use when you need to bootstrap a new skill in the Betty Framework.
+---
+
+# Skill Create
+
+## Purpose
+This skill automates the creation of a new Claude Code-compatible Skill inside the Betty Framework. It scaffolds the directory structure, generates the `skill.yaml` manifest file, and registers the skill in the internal registry. Use this when you want to add a new skill quickly and consistently.
+
+## Instructions
+1. Run the script `skill_create.py` with the following arguments:
+   ```bash
+   python skill_create.py <skill_name> "<description>" [--inputs input1,input2] [--outputs output1,output2]
+2. The script will create a folder under /skills/<skill_name>/ with:
+   * skill.yaml manifest (populated with version 0.1.0 and status draft)
+   * SKILL.md containing the description 
+   * A registration entry added to registry/skills.json
+
+3. The new manifest will be validated via the skill.define skill.
+
+4. After creation, review the generated skill.yaml for correctness, edit if necessary, and then mark status: active when ready for use.
+
+## Example
+
+```bash
+python skill_create.py workflow.compose "Compose and orchestrate multi-step workflows" --inputs workflow.yaml,context.schema --outputs execution_plan.json
+```
+
+This will generate:
+
+```
+skills/
+  workflow.compose/
+    skill.yaml
+    README.md
+registry/skills.json  ← updated with workflow.compose entry
+```
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+* The script uses forward-slash paths (e.g., `skills/workflow.compose/skill.yaml`) to remain cross-platform.
+* The manifest file format must include fields: `name`, `version`, `description`, `inputs`, `outputs`, `dependencies`, `status`.
+* This skill depends on `skill.define` (for validation) and `context.schema` (for input/output schema support).
+* After running, commit the changes to Git; version control provides traceability of new skills.
