Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads skill-developer automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Skill Developer
Meta-skill for creating new Claude Code skills, including skills that wrap MCP pipelines.
When to Use
- "Create a skill for X"
- "Help me make a new skill"
- "Turn this script into a skill"
- "How do I create a skill?"

Creating an MCP Pipeline Skill
To create a new MCP chain script and wrap it as a skill:
Step 1: Use the Template
Copy the multi-tool-pipeline template:
cp $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/scripts/multi_tool_pipeline.py $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/scripts/my_pipeline.py
Reference the template pattern:
cat $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/skills/multi-tool-pipeline/SKILL.md
cat $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/scripts/multi_tool_pipeline.py
Step 2: Customize the Script
Edit your new script to chain the MCP tools you need:
async def main():
from runtime.mcp_client import call_mcp_tool
args = parse_args()
# Chain your MCP tools (serverName__toolName)
result1 = await call_mcp_tool("server1__tool1", {"param": args.arg1})
result2 = await call_mcp_tool("server2__tool2", {"input": result1})
print(result2)
Step 2: Create the Skill
Create .claude/skills/my-pipeline/SKILL.md:
---
name: my-pipeline
description: What the pipeline does
allowed-tools: [Bash, Read]
---
# My Pipeline Skill
## When to Use
- [Trigger conditions]
## Instructions
Run the pipeline:
\`\`\`bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/my_pipeline.py --arg1 "value"
\`\`\`
### Parameters
- `--arg1`: Description
## MCP Servers Required
- server1: For tool1
- server2: For tool2
Step 3: Add Triggers (Optional)
Add to .claude/skills/skill-rules.json:
{
"skills": {
"my-pipeline": {
"type": "domain",
"enforcement": "suggest",
"priority": "medium",
"description": "What it does",
"promptTriggers": {
"keywords": ["keyword1", "keyword2"],
"intentPatterns": ["(pattern).*?(match)"]
}
}
}
}
