Skill Creator

Cherry Studio workflow (READ FIRST — overrides packaging / install steps below)

You are running inside Cherry Studio. Skills live in a managed registry that Cherry keeps in sync with the filesystem automatically — there is no install or register tool to call, and you should ignore any package_skill.py / .skill packaging steps mentioned later in this file (they apply to Claude Code / Claude.ai, not here).

To create a new skill, write it straight into Cherry's managed skills directory:

1. Resolve the directory once by running echo "$CHERRY_STUDIO_SKILLS_DIR" in Bash. That folder is Cherry's managed skill library.
2. Create $CHERRY_STUDIO_SKILLS_DIR/<skill-folder-name>/ and write SKILL.md plus any supporting files (scripts/, references/, assets/) into it with your normal file tools.
3. That's it. Cherry's skill sync detects the new directory, registers it in the catalog, and lists it in the app — no register step. You can re-edit the files in place at any time and the changes are picked up on the next sync.

Use a lowercase, hyphenated <skill-folder-name> (e.g. my-cool-skill). The name: field inside your SKILL.md frontmatter must match the folder name and use only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (e.g. name: my-cool-skill with folder my-cool-skill), per the Agent Skills spec — it is not a free-form display name.

Eval / test workspaces (<skill-name>-workspace/, iteration-*/, etc.) from the evaluation loop described below must be created outside that skills directory — e.g. as a sibling under the user's workspace — so they don't get bundled into the skill. The evaluation loop itself still applies; only the packaging and install mechanics change.

Skill Creator

A skill for creating new skills and iteratively improving them.

At a high level, the process of creating a skill goes like this:

• Decide what you want the skill to do and roughly how it should do it
• Write a draft of the skill
• Create a few test prompts and run claude-with-access-to-the-skill on them
