Meta-skill for creating and managing Claude Code skills. An agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.

  • Works in 4 steps: Use the Template → Customize the Script → Create the Skill → …
  • Agent Workflows work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Skill Structure, Creating an MCP Pipeline Skill and Reference Files, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Skill Developer is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. Meta-skill for creating and managing Claude Code skills

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Context management for Claude Code. Hooks maintain state via ledgers and handoffs. MCP execution without context pollution. Agent orchestration with isolated context windows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/skill-developer”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Use the Template
  2. Customize the Script
  3. Create the Skill
  4. Add Triggers (Optional)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash, yaml, python, markdown and json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Skill Developer loads about 841 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 154 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~841

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Edit

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Creating an MCP Pipeline Skill

To create a new MCP chain script and wrap it as a skill:

Step 1: Use the Template

Copy the multi-tool-pipeline template:

bash
cp $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/scripts/multi_tool_pipeline.py $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/scripts/my_pipeline.py

Reference the template pattern:

bash
cat $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/skills/multi-tool-pipeline/SKILL.md
cat $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/scripts/multi_tool_pipeline.py
Step 2: Customize the Script

Edit your new script to chain the MCP tools you need:

python
async def main():
    from runtime.mcp_client import call_mcp_tool
    args = parse_args()

    # Chain your MCP tools (serverName__toolName)
    result1 = await call_mcp_tool("server1__tool1", {"param": args.arg1})
    result2 = await call_mcp_tool("server2__tool2", {"input": result1})

    print(result2)
Step 2: Create the Skill

Create .claude/skills/my-pipeline/SKILL.md:

markdown
---
name: my-pipeline
description: What the pipeline does
allowed-tools: [Bash, Read]
---

# My Pipeline Skill

## When to Use
- [Trigger conditions]

## Instructions

Run the pipeline:

\`\`\`bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/my_pipeline.py --arg1 "value"
\`\`\`

### Parameters
- `--arg1`: Description

## MCP Servers Required
- server1: For tool1
- server2: For tool2
Step 3: Add Triggers (Optional)

Add to .claude/skills/skill-rules.json:

json
{
  "skills": {
    "my-pipeline": {
      "type": "domain",
      "enforcement": "suggest",
      "priority": "medium",
      "description": "What it does",
      "promptTriggers": {
        "keywords": ["keyword1", "keyword2"],
        "intentPatterns": ["(pattern).*?(match)"]
      }
    }
  }
}

For full details, read:

bash
cat $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/rules/skill-development.md
cat $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/rules/mcp-scripts.md

Quick Checklist

  • SKILL.md has frontmatter (name, description)
  • "When to Use" section is clear
  • Instructions are copy-paste ready
  • MCP servers documented if needed
  • Triggers added to skill-rules.json (optional)
