Claude Skill Authoring and Trigger Repair
Turn a rough workflow into a self-contained SKILL.md with precise triggers, executable steps, and realistic acceptance checks.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I can help you think through a workflow. A good workflow typically involves breaking things down into stages, identifying key decisions, and making sure you have clear outputs at each step. The specific steps will really depend on what you're trying to accomplish though. What are the details of your situation?
WORKFLOW STRUCTURE PHASE 1 - DISCOVERY → Define inputs and constraints → Identify stakeholders → Document current state PHASE 2 - PLANNING → Break into discrete tasks → Sequence dependencies → Assign ownership PHASE 3 - EXECUTION → Run each task in order → Track completion status → Document outputs PHASE 4 - VALIDATION → Test against success criteria → Gather feedback → Iterate if needed QUICK WINS: Phase 1 typically surfaces 2-3 quick wins; address those first before full rollout.
About this skill
Your workflow works when you explain every detail, but the saved skill keeps missing the request or producing generic output. Turn that rough process into a self-contained SKILL.md with recognizable triggers, concrete decisions, and checks that catch the mistakes you actually care about.
What it does
- Converts a workflow idea into a complete SKILL.md with valid baseline frontmatter.
- Rewrites vague descriptions around realistic user requests and explicit scope boundaries.
- Replaces advice such as "review carefully" with ordered actions, decision rules, and observable results.
- Repairs existing drafts without expanding a small fix into an unnecessary rewrite.
- Adds missing-input behavior, a filled-in example, and acceptance cases for intended and neighboring requests.
- Flags unsupported tool assumptions, unavailable dependencies, and claims that require verification.
What you get
A copy-ready SKILL.md plus a concise review of its scope, assumptions, and acceptance cases. For a trigger or frontmatter repair, you get the corrected section and a focused explanation.
Best for
Claude and Claude Code users turning a repeated task into a reusable skill, or fixing a draft that activates inconsistently, overreaches, or still needs extensive prompting.

name: claude-skill-authoring-and-trigger-repair
description: >-
Create or repair a self-contained SKILL.md by defining its job boundary, writing realistic trigger language, converting expertise into executable decisions, and checking representative requests. Use when the user says "turn this workflow into a skill", "write a SKILL.md", "fix my skill description", "my skill never activates", "this skill triggers on unrelated requests", "review this skill draft", or "how detailed should these steps be?".
