# Adding a New Skill to the Repository
A repeatable checklist for adding each new skill as it is built. Follow these three steps every time.
---
## Step 1 — Add the Skill Folder
Place the skill folder inside `skills/`:
```
neurodiverse-claude-skills/
└── skills/
└── [skill-name]/
└── SKILL.md
```
The folder name must match the `name` field in the SKILL.md frontmatter exactly.
If the skill has supporting files (scripts, reference docs), they go inside the same folder alongside SKILL.md.
---
## Step 2 — Update the README
Add a new row to the skills table in `README.md`:
```markdown
| [skill-name] | [one line description of what it does] | [friction points it addresses] |
```
Example:
```markdown
| voice-input-processor | Interprets messy, unstructured voice-to-text input, finds the intent, and reformats it for use | Unstructured speech input, non-linear thinking, word substitution errors |
```
---
## Step 3 — Update marketplace.json
Append a new entry to the `plugins` array in `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`:
```json
{
"name": "[skill-name]",
"description": "[one line description of what it does]",
"source": {
"source": "github",
"repo": "andbert/neurodiverse-claude-skills"
},
"skills": ["./skills/[skill-name]"]
}
```
