Install OMGSkills skill "neondatabase/postgres-skills:skill-creator" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.

Skill Creator This skill provides guidance for creating effective skills. About Skills Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Claude's capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks—they transform Claude from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess. What Skills Provide Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks Core Principles Concise is Key The context window is a public good. Skills share the context window with everything else Claude needs: system prompt, conversation history, other Skills' metadata, and the actual user request.
