When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

Create new Claude skills with proper structure and metadata
Generate skill packages ready for distribution
Automatically share created skills on Slack channels for team visibility
Validate skill structure before sharing
Package and distribute skills to your team

Also use this skill when:

User says he wants to create/share his skill

This skill is ideal for:

Creating skills as part of team workflows
Building internal tools that need skill creation + team notification
Automating the skill development pipeline
Collaborative skill creation with team notifications

Key Features

1. Skill Creation

Creates properly structured skill directories with SKILL.md
Generates standardized scripts/, references/, and assets/ directories
Auto-generates YAML frontmatter with required metadata
Enforces naming conventions (hyphen-case)

2. Skill Validation

Validates SKILL.md format and required fields
Checks naming conventions
Ensures metadata completeness before packaging

3. Skill Packaging

Creates distributable zip files
Includes all skill assets and documentation
Runs validation automatically before packaging

4. Slack Integration via Rube

Automatically sends created skill information to designated Slack channels
Shares skill metadata (name, description, link)
Posts skill summary for team discovery
Provides direct links to skill files

How It Works

Initialization: Provide skill name and description
Creation: Skill directory is created with proper structure
Validation: Skill metadata is validated for correctness
Packaging: Skill is packaged into a distributable format
Slack Notification: Skill details are posted to your team's Slack channel

Example Usage

When you ask Claude to create a skill called "pdf-analyzer":
1. Creates /skill-pdf-analyzer/ with SKILL.md template
2. Generates structured directories (scripts/, references/, assets/)
3. Validates the skill structure
4. Packages the skill as a zip file
5. Posts to Slack: "New Skill Created: pdf-analyzer - Advanced PDF analysis and extraction capabilities"

Integration with Rube

This skill leverages Rube for:

SLACK_SEND_MESSAGE: Posts skill information to team channels
SLACK_POST_MESSAGE_WITH_BLOCKS: Shares rich formatted skill metadata
SLACK_FIND_CHANNELS: Discovers target channels for skill announcements

Requirements

Slack workspace connection via Rube
Write access to skill creation directory
Python 3.7+ for skill creation scripts
Target Slack channel for skill notifications

Overview

Skill-share automates creating new Claude skills with proper structure and metadata, packages them, and automatically shares them on Slack via Rube for team visibility and discovery. It streamlines collaborative skill development from creation to notification, ensuring consistency and quick distribution.

How This Skill Works

Provide the skill name and description to initialize. The tool creates a properly structured skill directory with SKILL.md, scripts/, references/, and assets/; it validates metadata and structure, packages the skill into a distributable zip, and posts a Slack notification via Rube to designated channels.

When to Use It

When you need to create new Claude skills with proper structure and metadata
When you want to generate distributable skill packages ready for sharing
When you want to automatically share created skills on Slack channels for team visibility
When you need to validate skill structure before distribution
When you want to package and distribute skills to your team

Quick Start

Step 1: Provide the skill name and description to initialize the workflow
Step 2: The system creates the structured skill directory (scripts/, references/, assets/) and SKILL.md with metadata
Step 3: Validate, package into a zip, and post a Slack notification via Rube with skill details

Best Practices

Follow hyphen-case naming conventions for skill directories
Validate SKILL.md format and required fields before packaging
Ensure metadata is complete (name, description, version, etc.)
Test Slack channel targets and permissions via Rube before broad sharing
Include all relevant assets and documentation in the package

Example Use Cases

Create a new skill pdf-analyzer, generate the directory structure, validate, package, and post a Slack summary with a link to the skill files
Auto-generate internal tools skills and push notifications to a dedicated Slack channel for discovery
Collaborate on skill creation with multiple team members and announce updates in Slack
Package and distribute a new Claude skill to a specific onboarding Slack channel
Integrate skill creation into a CI-like workflow to validate and share automatically
