create-skill
Create a new skill in the current repository. Use when the user wants to create/add a new skill, or mentions creating a skill from scratch. This skill follows the workflow defined in .agents/skills/README.md and helps scaffold, validate, and sync new skills.
npx skills add CherryHQ/cherry-studio --skill create-skill --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Create Skill Create a new skill in `.agents/skills/<skill-name>/` following the workflow defined in `.agents/skills/README.md`. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Gather Intent Before creating anything, ask the user: 1. **Skill name**: What should the skill be called? (lowercase, digits, hyphens only, e.g., `gh-create-pr`, `prepare-release`) 2. **Description**: What should this skill do? Include specific trigger contexts (e.g., "Use when user asks to create PRs") 3. **Is this a public skill?**: Should it be synced to `.claude/skills/` for shared use? (default: no, private only) 4. **Test cases** (optional): Does the user want to set up evals for this skill? If the user provides partial info (e.g., just a name), proceed with reasonable defaults and ask to confirm. ### Step 2: Read Guidelines Always read `.agents/skills/README.md` before creating a new skill to ensure compliance with the current workflow. ### Step 3: Create Skill Structure Create the following directory structure: ``` .agents/skills/<skill-name>/ └── SKILL.md ``` **SKILL.md template:** ```markdown --- name: <skill-name> description: <description> --- # <Skill Name> [Instructions for the skill] ``` **Frontmatter fields:** - `n

What does the create-skill skill do?
Create a new skill in the current repository. Use when the user wants to create/add a new skill, or mentions creating a skill from scratch. This skill follows the workflow defined in .agents/skills/README.md and helps scaffold, validate, and sync new skills.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add CherryHQ/cherry-studio --skill create-skill --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From CherryHQ/cherry-studio, a repository with 49,400 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
