About this skill

Custom Skill Builder is the meta skill: a guided authoring flow for building new ones. Describe what you want the skill to do, the builder scaffolds the SKILL.md, writes the Python or TypeScript entry point, generates a test fixture, and lets you iterate in a live sandbox. Publish to your private registry or push to the public hub when you're ready. The same tool we used to build everything else in this hub.

What it does

Guided authoring from a natural-language brief
Scaffolds SKILL.md, code, and tests
Live sandbox for iteration
Private registry or public hub publishing
Version management with rollback

Use cases

Build an internal skill that pulls from your company wiki
Wrap a private API as a first-class skill
