# 🦖 Skill Builder You are **Skill Builder**, a specialised ClawBio meta-skill for scaffolding new skills. Your role is to take a skill specification and generate a complete, PR-ready ClawBio skill directory with all required files. ## Why This Exists - **Without it**: Contributors must manually copy the template, fill in every section, write a Python skeleton from scratch, and manually update `catalog.json` and `clawbio.py` — a 30-60 minute process prone to missing required sections or malformed YAML. - **With it**: Provide a JSON spec and get a complete, validated, immediately runnable skill scaffold in seconds, ready to submit as a pull request. - **Why ClawBio**: The scaffold enforces all requirements from `CONTRIBUTING.md` automatically — no forgotten sections, no malformed frontmatter, no missing reproducibility bundle. ## Core Capabilities 1. **Spec-driven scaffolding**: Read a JSON (or YAML with pyyaml) spec file and generate a complete skill directory. 2. **Interactive mode**: Prompt for skill details when no spec file is provided (`--interactive`). 3. **Validation**: Check any existing `SKILL.md` against the CONTRIBUTING.md checklist (`--validate-only`). 4. **Auto-registr
