The "Skillify This"
Prompt

Paste this into Claude. It triggers Anthropic's /skill-creator Skill, which interviews you about something you keep repeating and builds a finished, ready-to-install Skill. (No /skill-creator enabled? It still runs the interview itself.) Use it the third time you catch yourself typing the same instructions.

Use your built-in /skill-creator Skill to turn a task I repeat into a reusable Claude Skill — no code from me.

First, check /skill-creator is enabled. If it isn't, tell me to turn it on
(Customize → Skills → Browse → /skill-creator), then continue. If it's
not available at all, just run the steps below yourself.

STEP 1 — Interview me, one question at a time, waiting for each answer:
1. What is the repetitive task? (e.g. "my weekly campaign recap")
2. When should Claude reach for this Skill? Give me the trigger in plain words.
3. Walk me through exactly how you do it today, step by step.
4. What rules must never be broken? (tone, format, length, do's and don'ts)
5. Do you have a template, example, or past output I should match? Paste it if so.

STEP 2 — Then have /skill-creator build a complete Skill as a single SKILL.md:
- YAML frontmatter with a clear `name` and a specific `description`
  (the description must state exactly WHEN to trigger the Skill — that's
  what makes Claude pick it up).
- A body written like an onboarding guide for a new teammate: the steps,
  the rules, and a worked example of a great output.

STEP 3 — Then tell me, in plain steps, how to install and turn it on:
Customize → Skills → Add.

Keep it simple and non-technical. Start now: confirm /skill-creator is on, then ask me question 1.
Tip: The magic is in the description — that's the line that tells Claude when to use the Skill. Be specific ("use this whenever I ask for a weekly campaign recap"), not vague ("marketing stuff"). A sharp description means Claude reaches for the Skill at the right moment without you having to ask.
