Description
skill-writer is an agent skill from the PyTorch repository that guides a user through creating a new Agent Skill for Claude Code. It applies when a user wants to create, write, author or design a skill, or needs help with a SKILL.md file. The skill walks through the work in steps, starting with determining the scope of the skill: what it should do and when it should trigger. It helps with designing the skill's structure and its frontmatter, writing or updating SKILL.md files, turning existing prompts or workflows into skills, and troubleshooting skills that are not being discovered. The guidance is meant to follow best practices and validation requirements for skills, so that a skill is well structured and easy for Claude Code to find and use. It is listed on skills.sh, with its security audit results shown there. It suits people who have a repeated workflow they want to package as a skill, and who want help defining its scope and writing its instructions clearly enough for the agent to follow.…
