Exceptional skill-creation meta-skill with comprehensive coverage of when and how to create skills. The description clearly indicates this is for creating/updating skills. The content provides extensive task knowledge including philosophy (progressive disclosure, degrees of freedom), concrete workflow steps, bundled scripts for initialization/packaging/validation, and design pattern references. Structure is excellent with clear sections and supporting files. Novelty is strong as this meta-task (teaching an AI to create skills for itself) would require substantial tokens and iteration without this guidance. The skill practices what it preaches with lean SKILL.md and separate reference files for patterns. Minor deduction on structure only because the main SKILL.md is quite long (~500 lines), though this is arguably justified given the complexity. Overall, this is a well-architected skill that meaningfully reduces the cost and improves quality of skill creation.
