Claude Artifact Creator

Creates, improves, and maintains Claude Code extensions following official best practices.

FIRST: Read Meta-Knowledge

Before creating any artifact, READ .claude/GUIDELINES.md for:

• Decision framework (Skill vs Agent vs Command vs Hook)
• Tool permissions strategy by role
• Hook events and configuration
• Agent/Skill/Command file formats
• Quality checklists and anti-patterns

This skill provides quick patterns; GUIDELINES.md provides authoritative rules.

When to Use This Skill

• Creating a new skill for domain expertise or file processing
• Creating an agent for specialized tasks with context isolation
• Creating a command for user-invoked shortcuts
• Improving or refactoring existing artifacts
• Reviewing artifacts against quality standards
• Analyzing staged changes for automation opportunities
• Consolidating duplicate or overlapping artifacts

Core Principle: Concise is Key

The context window is a shared resource. Before adding content, ask:

• "Does Claude really need this?" - Claude is already smart
• "Can this be in a reference file?" - Progressive disclosure
• "Does this justify its token cost?" - Every line has a cost

Core Capabilities

1. Create - Generate artifacts from templates with proper structure
2. Improve - Enhance based on official best practices and patterns
3. Review - Audit against quality checklist and anti-patterns
4. Consolidate - Merge duplicate artifacts into focused ones

Three-Layer Knowledge Architecture

CRITICAL: Before creating any knowledge artifact, determine the correct layer.

See GUIDELINES.md § Three-Layer Knowledge Architecture for full details.

Quick Decision Flow

Is it a design principle that applies to ANY language?
│
├── YES → Create CONCEPT (knowledge/concepts/)
│         NO CODE, just principles
│
└── NO → Is it specific to a language/framework?
         │
         ├── YES → Create IMPLEMENTATION (knowledge/implementations/{lang}/)
         │         CODE EXAMPLES, links to concept
         │
         └── NO → Create SKILL (skills/)
