Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "skill-writer" from https://skillstore.io/skills/dami-randle-skill-writer.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/dami-randle-skill-writer/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Agent-readable resources

Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.

Test it

Using "skill-writer". I want a skill for reviewing Terraform plans.

Expected outcome:

A focused skill plan with a valid name, activation description, expected files, example workflow, and testing checklist.

Using "skill-writer". My skill does not activate when I ask for spreadsheet analysis.

Expected outcome:

A troubleshooting checklist covering description specificity, file location, frontmatter validity, and restart or debug steps.

Using "skill-writer". Convert our release checklist into a reusable skill.

Expected outcome:

A proposed skill scope, SKILL.md outline, supporting reference files, concrete examples, and validation criteria.

All static alerts were adjudicated as false positives caused by Markdown code fences, inline code, and documented .claude/skills paths. The skill is a skill-authoring guide and I found no prompt injection, data exfiltration, covert network use, or hidden persistence intent.

What You Can Build

Create a Personal Skill

Build a focused skill for a repeated personal workflow with clear activation language and validation steps.

Standardize Team Skill Authoring

Define shared conventions for project skills, frontmatter, examples, and troubleshooting guidance.

Convert a Workflow Into a Skill

Turn an existing prompt, checklist, or process into a reusable Claude Code skill structure.

Try These Prompts

Create a Basic Skill
Help me create a Claude Code skill for [workflow]. Ask me for the scope, target users, required files, and activation phrases.
Improve Skill Frontmatter
Review my SKILL.md frontmatter. Make the name valid, improve the description, and ensure it includes what the skill does and when to use it.
Design a Multi-File Skill
Design a multi-file skill for [domain]. Recommend the file structure, what belongs in SKILL.md, and which supporting files should use progressive disclosure.
Diagnose Skill Activation
My Claude Code skill does not activate for relevant requests. Check likely causes in the description, file location, frontmatter, and testing workflow.

Best Practices

  • Keep each skill focused on one clear capability.
  • Write descriptions with concrete trigger phrases and file types.
  • Validate frontmatter, directory names, examples, and activation behavior before sharing.

Avoid

  • Do not create broad skills that cover unrelated workflows.
  • Do not omit dependencies, required files, or setup assumptions.
  • Do not rely on vague descriptions that fail skill discovery.
