What New Skill does

New Skill scaffolds a new Claude Code skill by interviewing the user for purpose, trigger phrases, arguments, and tool needs, then writes a convention-compliant SKILL.md that passes integrity gates on first try. Use when creating a new slash command or turning a repeated workflow into a skill.

New Skill is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. New Skill comes from a repository tagged academic-writing, causal-inference, claude-code, claude-code-skills and econometrics.

Excerpt

/new-skill — Author a Convention-Compliant Skill

Scaffold a new skill the way this template's gold-standard skills are written: a deep module behind a simple interface (Ousterhout, A Philosophy of Software Design — "deep modules": a small surface that hides substantial implementation). The user supplies a fuzzy intent; this skill interviews it into a tight spec, then writes .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md with frontmatter and body that are mutually consistent — so check-skill-integrity.py and check-surface-sync.sh pass without a second pass.

Adapted from the write-a-skill pattern in mattpocock/skills, reshaped to this repo's frontmatter, section, and gate conventions.
