create-skill turns a plain-English description into a real, agent-facing SKILL.md (plus any supporting files). It is the skill-authoring counterpart to create-workflow: instead of hand-writing skill docs, you describe what the skill should equip an agent to do and the workflow clarifies it, designs the structure, scaffolds the files, and documents the result.
By default it pauses for you to approve the design before any files are written. Clear the gate with bunx smithers-orchestrator approve RUN_ID --node approve-design, or run autonomously with --input '{"review":false}'.

​
Stages

  1. clarify: turn the freeform ask into a structured skill spec (purpose, when-to-use, capabilities, inputs).
  2. design: produce the concrete SKILL.md blueprint (frontmatter, body sections, supporting files).
  3. approve-design: durable human approval gate (skippable via review: false).
  4. scaffold: write SKILL.md (and any supporting files) under .smithers/skills/.
  5. document: summarize what was created and where.

​
Inputs

Use this when you want to capture a repeatable agent capability as a reusable skill without hand-authoring the SKILL.md structure yourself.
