claude-skill-github-forge

A Claude Code skill that forges complete open-source Claude skill projects on GitHub — from use case description to installable marketplace plugin in one session.

What It Does

Turns your pain point or workflow experience into a fully structured, published Claude Code skill:

1. Understands your use case through focused questions
2. Designs the skill name, trigger condition, and workflow
3. Scaffolds the complete project structure with all required files
4. Writes SKILL.md, plugin.json, marketplace.json, and README
5. Publishes to GitHub and registers as an installable marketplace plugin

Installation

/plugin marketplace add atompilot/claude-skill-github-forge
/plugin install claude-skill-github-forge@claude-skill-github-forge

Usage

Just describe what you want to automate or solve:

> Forge a skill that helps me write conventional commit messages

> I want a skill for reviewing database migration files before running them

> 帮我打造一个 skill，每次写 SQL 查询时提醒我加索引

> Build a skill that enforces our team's code review checklist

Claude will ask clarifying questions, then build and publish the full project to GitHub.

Key Lessons Encoded

From building claude-skill-naming and other atompilot skills:

• plugin.json author must be an object, not a string
• marketplace.json is separate from plugin.json and required for /plugin marketplace add
• Skills are auto-discovered — no skills field in plugin.json
• Install command format: /plugin install <name>@<marketplace-name> (both the same)
• Marketplace cache doesn't auto-update — fix locally when iterating
