feat(skill-creator): add Step 0 prerequisites check with auto-install
Adds dependency detection before skill creation starts, preventing mid-workflow failures (e.g., gitleaks missing at packaging, PyYAML missing at validation). Documents correct script invocation via python3 -m syntax and auto-installation commands. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

When creating or updating a skill, follow these steps in order. Skip steps only when clearly not applicable.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 0: Prerequisites Check
|
||||
|
||||
Before starting any skill work, auto-detect all dependencies and proactively install anything missing. Discovering a missing tool mid-workflow (e.g., gitleaks at packaging time, PyYAML at validation) wastes time and breaks flow.
|
||||
|
||||
Run the quick check from [references/prerequisites.md](references/prerequisites.md), auto-install what you can, and present the user a summary checklist. Only proceed when all blocking dependencies are satisfied.
|
||||
|
||||
Key blockers: Python 3, PyYAML (validation/packaging), gitleaks (security scan), claude CLI (evals). All scripts must be invoked via `python3 -m scripts.<name>` from the skill-creator root directory — direct `python3 scripts/<name>.py` fails due to relative imports.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Understanding the Skill with Concrete Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Skip this step only when the skill's usage patterns are already clearly understood.

# Skill Creator Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
Auto-detect and install all dependencies before starting skill creation. This prevents failures mid-workflow (e.g., discovering gitleaks is missing only at the packaging step).
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Check Script
|
||||
|
||||
Run all checks in one go:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo "=== Skill Creator Prerequisites ==="
|
||||
echo -n "Python 3: "; python3 --version 2>/dev/null || echo "MISSING"
|
||||
echo -n "PyYAML: "; python3 -c "import yaml; print('OK')" 2>/dev/null || echo "MISSING"
|
||||
echo -n "gitleaks: "; gitleaks version 2>/dev/null || echo "MISSING"
|
||||
echo -n "claude CLI: "; which claude 2>/dev/null || echo "MISSING"
|
||||
echo -n "anthropic SDK: "; python3 -c "import anthropic; print('OK')" 2>/dev/null || echo "MISSING (optional)"
|
||||
echo -n "uv: "; uv --version 2>/dev/null || echo "MISSING (optional)"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies by Phase
|
||||
|
||||
| Dependency | Required For | Phase | Severity |
|
||||
|-----------|-------------|-------|----------|
|
||||
| Python 3.7+ | All scripts | All | **Blocking** |
|
||||
| PyYAML | `quick_validate.py`, `package_skill.py` | Validation, Packaging | **Blocking** |
|
||||
| gitleaks | `security_scan.py` | Security Review (Step 6) | **Blocking for packaging** |
|
||||
| claude CLI | `run_eval.py`, `run_loop.py` | Testing, Description Optimization | **Blocking for evals** |
|
||||
| anthropic SDK | `improve_description.py`, `run_loop.py` | Description Optimization | Optional (only for desc optimization) |
|
||||
| uv | Skills that bundle Python scripts | Export/Runtime | Optional (skill-specific) |
|
||||
| webbrowser | `generate_review.py` (viewer) | Eval Review | Optional (can use `--static` fallback) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Auto-Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### PyYAML (required)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Preferred: via uv
|
||||
uv pip install --system pyyaml
|
||||
|
||||
# Alternative: via pip
|
||||
pip3 install pyyaml
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify
|
||||
python3 -c "import yaml; print(yaml.__version__)"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### gitleaks (required for packaging)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# macOS
|
||||
brew install gitleaks
|
||||
|
||||
# Linux
|
||||
wget https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks/releases/download/v8.21.2/gitleaks_8.21.2_linux_x64.tar.gz
|
||||
tar -xzf gitleaks_8.21.2_linux_x64.tar.gz && sudo mv gitleaks /usr/local/bin/
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify
|
||||
gitleaks version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### anthropic SDK (optional, for description optimization)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Preferred: via uv
|
||||
uv pip install --system anthropic
|
||||
|
||||
# Alternative: via pip
|
||||
pip3 install anthropic
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify
|
||||
python3 -c "import anthropic; print('OK')"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Also requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` environment variable to be set.
|
||||
|
||||
### claude CLI (required for evals)
|
||||
|
||||
The `claude` CLI (Claude Code) must be installed and available in PATH. If the user is already running this skill inside Claude Code, this is already satisfied.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Verify
|
||||
which claude && claude --version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If missing, the user needs to install Claude Code from https://claude.ai/claude-code.
|
||||
|
||||
## Script Invocation
|
||||
|
||||
All scripts must be run from the skill-creator root directory using module syntax:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# CORRECT — run from skill-creator directory
|
||||
cd <skill-creator-path>
|
||||
python3 -m scripts.package_skill <skill-path>
|
||||
python3 -m scripts.security_scan <skill-path>
|
||||
python3 -m scripts.aggregate_benchmark <workspace-path> --skill-name <name>
|
||||
|
||||
# WRONG — direct invocation fails with ModuleNotFoundError
|
||||
python3 scripts/package_skill.py <skill-path> # ImportError: No module named 'scripts'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is because the scripts use relative imports (`from scripts.quick_validate import ...`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Presenting Results to User
|
||||
|
||||
After running all checks, present a summary table:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Skill Creator Prerequisites:
|
||||
[x] Python 3.12.0
|
||||
[x] PyYAML 6.0.1
|
||||
[x] gitleaks 8.21.2
|
||||
[x] claude CLI (running inside Claude Code)
|
||||
[ ] anthropic SDK — not installed (only needed for description optimization)
|
||||
[x] uv 0.6.x
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If any **blocking** dependency is missing and auto-install fails, clearly explain what the user needs to do and stop before proceeding to skill creation.
