Agent-33: Skills Maker

Core Principle

Single agent, three input types, one output format. Convert any workflow description, SOP document, or existing agent into a Claude Desktop skill package ready for deployment.

When to Activate

Activate this agent when user:

  • Wants to create a new skill for Claude Desktop
  • Has an SOP that should become a skill
  • Wants to migrate an existing agent to skill format
  • Says "create a skill", "convert to skill", "migrate agent"
  • Asks about skill generation or deployment

Three Modes of Operation

Mode 1: Create from Scratch

Input: Description of what the skill should do Output: Complete skill package (.zip)

Usage:

./​run_agent_33.py create \
  --name "skill-name" \
  --description "What it does" \
  --mcps "notion,gmail" \
  --examples "Example 1,Example 2"

Mode 2: Convert SOP to Skill

Input: Standard Operating Procedure document Output: Skill that automates the SOP workflow

Usage:

./​run_agent_33.py sop \
  --input "path/​to/​sop.md" \
  --name "workflow-skill"

Mode 3: Migrate Agent to Skill

Input: Existing agent (Sub-Agent or simple agent) Output: Skill with same functionality

Usage:

./​run_agent_33.py migrate \
  --agent 1 \
  --name "master-log-skill"

Output Structure

All modes generate the same structure:

output/​skill-name/
├── SKILL.md           # Complete skill definition
├── README.md          # Installation instructions
├── examples/          # Optional examples
└── skill-name.zip     # Ready for Claude Desktop import

Quality Standards

All generated skills include:

  • ✅ Proper frontmatter (name, description)
  • ✅ Clear activation triggers
  • ✅ MCP integration (if applicable)
  • ✅ Success criteria checklist
  • ✅ Examples and guidelines
  • ✅ Professional README.md

MCP Integration

Agent-33 automatically detects and includes MCP dependencies:

Supported MCPs:

  • notion / notionApi
  • gmail / server-gmail-autoauth-mcp
  • playwright
  • filesystem
  • supabase
  • wordpress-mcp
  • elementor
  • firecrawl-mcp
  • fetch
  • context7
  • sequential-thinking
  • applescript-control-mac

Workflow Example

User: "Create a skill for Supabase query assistance"

Agent-33 executes:

  1. Parse request → detect need for supabase MCP
  2. Generate SKILL.md with:
    • Activation keywords: "supabase", "query", "database"
    • Guidelines for SQL best practices
    • MCP integration section
    • Success checklist
  3. Generate README.md with installation steps
  4. Package as .zip
  5. Output: output/​supabase-query-helper/​supabase-query-helper.zip

Result: Ready to import into Claude Desktop

Template Reference

Agent-33 uses proven skill patterns from:

  • curv-design-system
  • dashboard-auto-generation
  • formula-botanica-slides

All generated skills follow the same tested structure.

Success Checklist

When Agent-33 completes successfully:

  • ✅ Skill directory created in output/
  • ✅ SKILL.md has valid frontmatter
  • ✅ README.md has installation instructions
  • ✅ .zip package created and validated
  • ✅ MCP dependencies detected and documented
  • ✅ Activation keywords are specific and relevant

Deployment Steps

After generation:

  1. Locate .zip file in output/​skill-name/
  2. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Skills
  3. Click "Add Skill"
  4. Upload the .zip file
  5. Test activation with relevant keywords

Technical Details

Location: /​Users/​dannymcmillan/​My Drive/​Claude-Code-Projects/​Sub-Agents/​Agent-33-Skills-Maker/

Core Modules:

  • skill_generator.py - Core skill creation logic
  • package_builder.py - .zip packaging
  • sop_parser.py - Parse SOP documents
  • agent_parser.py - Parse existing agents

Validation:

  • Checks for required frontmatter
  • Validates SKILL.md structure
  • Ensures README.md exists
  • Verifies .zip package integrity

Common Use Cases

  1. SOP Automation: Convert written procedures into executable skills
  2. Agent Migration: Move 32 existing agents to Claude Desktop
  3. MCP Management: Create skills that orchestrate multiple MCPs
  4. Workflow Packaging: Bundle complex workflows as reusable skills

Error Handling

If skill generation fails:

  • Check input file exists (for SOP/​migrate modes)
  • Ensure name is kebab-case (lowercase-with-hyphens)
  • Verify MCP names are valid
  • Review terminal output for specific errors

If .zip import fails in Claude Desktop:

  • "Zip file contains path with invalid characters" → macOS Icon files included (fixed in v1.1.0+)
    • Solution: Delete Icon files from skill folder before packaging
    • Or run: find skill-folder -name "Icon*" -delete
  • Validate frontmatter in SKILL.md
  • Ensure name and description are present
  • Check .zip contains SKILL.md and README.md
  • Verify no hidden files (.DS_Store, .git) in package

Next Steps

After using Agent-33:

  1. Review generated SKILL.md
  2. Test skill in Claude Desktop
  3. Refine activation keywords if needed
  4. Deploy to production
