create-skills

Used when you notice patterns or workflows that could improve efficiency but have no skill covering them.

Principle

Not every repetitive task needs to become a skill. Ask first: is this pattern general enough to warrant abstraction?

Process

1. Identify the Pattern

• Record the repeating sequence of operations
• Analyze: what are you doing repeatedly across tasks?
• Evaluate: is this operation general-purpose or a one-off特例?

2. Assess Whether It's Worth Making a Skill

Worth doing when:

• The same operation recurs across different agents/workspaces
• The steps are fixed, results are predictable
• Involves external system calls (git, keycloak, file ops, etc.)

Not worth doing when:

• One-off task
• Steps vary depending on context
• Purely conversational/analytical work

3. Design the Skill

• Name: {action}-{target} (e.g., git-clone-repo, keycloak-create-user)
• SKILL.md contents:
  • Description: what this skill does
  • Use cases: when to use it
  • Scripts: all related scripts and how to call them
• Scripts:
  • Place under scripts/
  • Each script has a single responsibility
  • Provide --help or -h support

4. Implement

• Write the scripts, verify they work
• Write the SKILL.md
• Test locally

5. Submit

• Follow promote-improvements to push to your branch
• Commit message includes: skill name, what it does, usage example
• Notify hang with the new skill's purpose

6. Ship

• hang merges it; skill enters the official ClawSkills list
• Other agents pull it automatically via learn.sh
