# Skill Creator Create new skills for MimiClaw. ## When to use When the user asks to create a new skill, teach the bot something, or add a new capability. ## How to create a skill 1. Choose a short, descriptive name (lowercase, hyphens ok) 2. Write a SKILL.md file with this structure: - `# Title` — clear name - Brief description paragraph - `## When to use` — trigger conditions - `## How to use` — step-by-step instructions - `## Example` — concrete example (optional but helpful) 3. Save to `/spiffs/skills/.md` using write_file 4. The skill will be automatically available after the next conversation ## Best practices - Keep skills concise — the context window is limited - Focus on WHAT to do, not HOW (the agent is smart) - Include specific tool calls the agent should use - Test by asking the agent to use the new skill ## Example To create a "translate" skill: write_file path="/spiffs/skills/translate.md" content="# Translate\n\nTranslate text between languages.\n\n## When to use\nWhen the user asks to translate text.\n\n## How to use\n1.
