Step 4: Generate Skill

The final step writes the generated skill files under skill/, including skill/SKILL.md and any skill/references/... files. The generated skill is saved into the skill's parent plugin — by default, the Skills plugin.


What you see after the run finishes

You get a file viewer that renders the generated markdown.

  • If there is more than one file, a selector appears.
  • If there is only one file, the filename is shown inline.
  • In update mode, the header shows completion state and elapsed time.

Review the output

  1. Review SKILL.md — this is the main skill file. It contains the instructions Claude will follow.
  2. If a dropdown is shown, open each reference file to review supplementary content.
  3. If something looks wrong, go back to an earlier step and correct your answers. See Reset a step.
