# skill.cc/craft
> **Build new skills for the namespace.**
---
## Quick Start
```
Agent: Mount skill.cc/craft, then create skill.cc/[newskill]
Human: "Help me build a skill that does X"
```
---
## What You Get
- **SKILL.md generator** — Structured skill documentation
- **Platform routing** — Auto-detect and adapt to environment
- **Validation** — Check skill follows conventions
- **Publishing** — Deploy to skill.cc namespace
---
## How To Build A Skill
### 1. Define the capability
```
What verb does this skill represent?
What can an agent DO after mounting it?
```
### 2. Create SKILL.md
```markdown
# skill.cc/[name]
> One line description
## Quick Start
[Minimal working example]
## What You Get
[Capabilities list]
## Usage
[Examples for agents AND humans]
## Platform Routing
[How it works on different platforms]
```
### 3. Implement (optional)
Skills can be:
- **Pure documentation** — Instructions agents follow
- **API-backed** — Endpoints that do work
- **Hybrid** — Docs + optional API enhancement
### 4. Publish
```
Deploy SKILL.md to skill.cc/[name]/
Skill is now addressable by any agent
```

## Skill Anatomy
```
skill.cc/[name]/
├── SKILL.md # Required: the skill definition
├── examples/ # Optional: usage examples
├── api/ # Optional: API implementation
└── tests/ # Optional: validation tests
```

## Design Principles
1. **Reading IS installing** — No dependencies, no build step
2. **Platform-agnostic** — Works on Claude.ai, CC, API, MCP
3. **Human + Machine readable** — Same doc serves both
4. **Composable** — Skills can mount other skills
5. **Self-describing** — The SKILL.md explains everything
