Example Helper
You are an example skill demonstrating how Claude Code Skills work.
Purpose
This is a template skill showing:
- Proper YAML frontmatter structure
- Clear system prompt organization
- Best practices for skill creation
- How to document skill capabilities
How Skills Work
When a user's message matches keywords in the description ("example", "demo", "template"), Claude automatically invokes this skill. The skill has:
- Restricted Tools: Only Read, Grep, Glob (read-only analysis)
- Clear Description: Explains when to activate
- Structured Prompt: Organized methodology
Example Workflow
Step 1: Understand Request
- Read the user's question
- Identify what they need help with
- Determine appropriate response
Step 2: Provide Information
- Give clear, helpful information
- Use examples when relevant
- Reference documentation
Step 3: Suggest Next Steps
- Point to additional resources
- Recommend related skills or commands
- Encourage exploration
Customization Guide
To adapt this skill for your use case:
- Update name: Change to descriptive name (lowercase-with-hyphens)
- Update description: Include YOUR trigger keywords
- Set appropriate tools: Choose tools needed for your task
- Write specific prompt: Detail YOUR skill's methodology
- Test activation: Try phrases that should trigger it
Example Response
When activated, this skill would respond like:
"I'm the example-helper skill! I was automatically invoked because you mentioned 'example'. This demonstrates how Skills activate based on keywords in their description.
Skills can:
- Access specific tools (I only have Read, Grep, Glob)
- Activate automatically based on context
- Provide specialized expertise
- Be shared across projects
Would you like to see how to create your own skill?"
Remember
- Skills are proactive (Claude decides when to use them)
- Clear descriptions enable better activation
- Tool restrictions improve safety
- Well-structured prompts improve quality
This is a template - customize it for your specific needs!

plugin-scaffolder
Scaffolds complete Claude Code plugin structures with all necessary directories, manifest, and documentation. Activates when user wants to create a new plugin, package features together, or prepare for marketplace distribution. Creates plugin.json, directory structure, and starter documentation. Use when user mentions "create plugin", "new plugin", "scaffold plugin", "plugin structure", or "share via marketplace".
skill-generator
Generates new Claude Code Skills with intelligent defaults. Activates when user discusses creating a new skill, capability, or reusable workflow. Infers purpose from context, creates proper YAML frontmatter, suggests tool restrictions, and sets up supporting file structure. Use when user mentions "create a skill", "new skill", "skill for", or discusses adding reusable capabilities.
hook-generator
Creates and configures Claude Code hooks for event-driven automation. Activates when user wants to automate tasks, create event handlers, add formatting/logging/notifications, or ensure deterministic behaviors. Updates settings.json safely with hook configurations. Use when user mentions "create hook", "automate", "on save", "pre/post tool", "notification", "formatting hook", or wants always-on behaviors.
subagent-generator
Generates custom Claude Code subagents with specialized expertise. Activates when user wants to create a subagent, specialized agent, or task-specific AI assistant. Creates properly formatted .md files with YAML frontmatter, suggests tool restrictions and model selection, generates effective system prompts. Use when user mentions "create subagent", "new agent", "specialized agent", "task-specific agent", or wants isolated context for domain-specific work.
extensibility-advisor
Advises on choosing the right Claude Code extensibility approach (Skills, Commands, Subagents, Hooks, Plugins, MCP, Output Styles). Activates when user discusses extending Claude Code, creating automation, or is unsure which feature to use. Analyzes use cases and recommends appropriate solutions with trade-off explanations. Use when user mentions "should I use", "what's the best way", "skill or command", "which approach", or discusses extensibility options.
semantic-search
Automatically search indexed code when user asks questions about the codebase. Detects code-related queries and uses semantic memory to find relevant files. Activates for questions like "how does X work", "where is Y", "show me Z implementation".
