Available skills:

• local-skills-mcp-guide: Repository implementation guide for the local-skills-mcp codebase. Use when asked: how src/index.ts and src/skill-loader.ts work together; where MCP tool handlers are defined and registered; how getAllSkillsDirectories priority and override behavior works; how local-skills-mcp discovers skills and merges metadata across directories; where validate_skill and evaluate_skill are implemented in this repository; or how integration tests are structured in this local-skills-mcp project.

• local-skills-mcp-usage: Operational guide for using Local Skills MCP in day-to-day projects. Use when asked: where skills should live (~/.claude/skills, ./.claude/skills, ./skills, SKILLS_DIR); directory precedence and override rules; how to configure local-skills-mcp in Claude Code mcp.json; fastest way to create a new skill folder and make it discoverable; how to add project skills to git so the team gets them; or how Local Skills MCP hot-reloads skill edits without restarting.

• skill-creator: Use this skill when building, writing, reviewing, or fixing a SKILL.md file for a new or existing skill. Covers choosing skill names, writing and correcting YAML frontmatter (name and description fields), crafting effective 'Use when' trigger phrases, structuring skill body instructions, improving an existing skill's routing quality with better trigger keywords, and interpreting or evaluating a skill description against an eval set using validate_skill or evaluate_skill.

Validates a SKILL.md file against name/description/frontmatter rules and returns errors + warnings.

Runs Anthropic skill-creator eval loop for a skill (requires Python, Claude CLI auth, and an eval set JSON; legacy layouts may also require ANTHROPIC_API_KEY + anthropic package).
