An AI skill is a structured system prompt or set of custom instructions that gives AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini specialized capabilities. It includes a clear role definition, specific knowledge areas, step-by-step processes, and quality criteria that help AI perform specific professional tasks.

How does Skill This work?

Simply describe your professional expertise in plain text. Our free AI skill generator analyzes your input and transforms it into a structured system prompt. The skill is then graded on clarity, specificity, and usefulness. You can share your skill via a unique URL or copy it to use as custom instructions with any AI assistant like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.

Is Skill This free to use?

Yes, Skill This is completely free. No account or payment is required. You can create unlimited skills and share them with anyone.

How is my skill graded?

Skills are graded on a scale from A+ to F (0-100 points). The grade reflects how clear, specific, and actionable your skill is. Higher grades indicate skills that AI assistants can use more effectively.

How do I use my skill with an AI assistant?

Copy your generated skill and paste it into the system prompt or custom instructions of any AI assistant. For ChatGPT, use Personalization > Custom Instructions. For Claude, add it to a Project's instructions. For Cursor or other IDEs, save it as a .cursorrules or CLAUDE.md file. The AI will then adopt that skill and perform tasks according to your expertise.

description: Generates complete, production-quality Minecraft server plugins (Paper/Spigot/Bukkit/Velocity/BungeeCord) with full Java source, build files, and configs. Use when the user asks to make, create, build, write, or generate a Minecraft plugin — including specific plugin types like economy, PvP, skyblock, prison, factions, bedwars, kitpvp, lifesteal, RPG, hub/lobby plugins, or any request for Java source files targeting a Minecraft server. Always outputs complete working code, never stubs or pseudocode.

# Generating Minecraft Plugins

Produce complete, compilable plugin projects matching the quality of premium SpigotMC/BuiltByBit plugins ($20-$50 tier). Draws on architecture patterns from ShopGUI+, LuckPerms, EssentialsX, CMI, Citizens, MythicMobs, and BattlePass.

Quick Start14 / 15

For any plugin request, immediately determine:

Server type archetype (survival, skyblock, prison, factions, lifesteal, kitpvp, bedwars, hub, RPG, or generic)
Feature modules needed (economy, GUI, database, custom enchants, crates, etc.)
Integrations to soft-depend on (Vault, LuckPerms, PlaceholderAPI, Citizens...)

Then generate the full file tree — never partial output. Minimum viable plugin always includes: build.gradle.kts, plugin.yml, config.yml, messages.yml, main class, at least one manager, at least one command, at least one listener, ItemBuilder util.

Recommendation▾

Add a concrete code snippet example (e.g., partial ItemBuilder or Manager class) rather than only prose descriptions of outputs

Workflow14 / 15

Progress:
- [ ] Identify server archetype and auto-include its standard feature set
- [ ] Identify explicit feature requests beyond the archetype defaults
- [ ] Select third-party integrations (soft-depend, check-before-hook pattern)
- [ ] Generate build.gradle.kts (Shadow JAR, relocations, Java 21 toolchain)
- [ ] Generate plugin.yml (commands, permissions, softdepend)
- [ ] Generate config.yml + messages.yml (fully commented, MiniMessage strings)
- [ ] Generate main class (onEnable order: config → db → managers → commands → listeners)
- [ ] Generate one Manager class per system
- [ ] Generate Command classes (CommandExecutor + TabCompleter combined)
- [ ] Generate Listener classes (separate from managers)
- [ ] Generate util classes (ItemBuilder minimum)
- [ ] Verify checklist below is 100% satisfied before returning output

Recommendation▾

Include an example showing a smaller/simpler request to demonstrate scaling down complexity appropriately

Non-Negotiable Standards

Paper API 1.20.4, Java 21. Never target legacy Bukkit unless explicitly asked.
Adventure/MiniMessage only. Never ChatColor or § codes. Use Component, <red>, <gradient>, etc.
Async everything DB-related. CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(...) for queries, hop back to main thread via Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(...) for any Bukkit API calls in the callback.
HikariCP for MySQL, opened in onEnable, closed in onDisable. SQLite acceptable for single-server small plugins.
One Manager class per system (EconomyManager, GUIManager, DatabaseManager). Constructor injection of the plugin instance — never JavaPlugin.getPlugin().
No static state except the plugin singleton.
Config wrapper class (PluginConfig) — never scatter raw getConfig().getX() calls through business logic.
Gradle Kotlin DSL + Shadow plugin, relocate all shaded dependencies to avoid classpath collisions with other plugins.
Soft-depend, don't hard-depend on optional integrations (Vault, LuckPerms, PlaceholderAPI, Citizens, MythicMobs, ItemsAdder). Always null-check / isPluginEnabled before hooking.

Server Archetypes (auto-include without being asked)

Archetype	Auto-included systems
Survival	land claiming, chest protection, homes, spawn, TPA, death chest, Vault economy, player shops
Skyblock	island CRUD, island levels, upgrades, custom generators, coop, challenges, top leaderboard
Prison	mines w/ auto-reset, auto-sell, rank progression A-Z+Prestige, rankup GUI, tokens, custom enchants
Factions	claim/power system, roles, ally/enemy/truce, faction home/chat/vault, raid shield timer
Lifesteal	heart system (10 base hearts=20HP), kill=+1 heart, death=-1 heart, elimination, heart crystal item, revival
KitPvP	kit GUI w/ cooldowns, killstreaks, bounties, combat tag, stats (K/D/KDR), leaderboards
Bedwars	arena setup mode, bed destruction, resource generators, shop NPC, team upgrades, game state machine
Hub/Lobby	MOTD, server selector GUI, NPC selectors, hotbar items, lobby protection, cosmetics, announcements
RPG	class system, XP/leveling, skill trees, mana, quests, loot tables, parties, STR/DEX/INT stats

When request matches an archetype, generate its full feature set even if the user only named the archetype (e.g. "make me a skyblock plugin" → generate all skyblock systems).

Examples16 / 20

Example 1: Input: "make me a lifesteal plugin" Output: Full project with HeartManager (PDC + MySQL heart storage), HeartCrystalListener (custom NBT item use), EliminationManager (ban-on-zero-hearts with configurable duration), /hearts and /revive commands, config.yml with max-hearts, starting-hearts, elimination-ban-duration, messages.yml with MiniMessage strings, build.gradle.kts with Paper API + HikariCP, plugin.yml with permissions for revive/give.

Example 2: Input: "generate a ShopGUI-style economy plugin with Vault support" Output: EconomyManager wrapping Vault's Economy, ShopManager loading item categories from YAML, ShopGUI (extends AbstractGui) with buy/sell click handling, GuiListener centralizing InventoryClickEvent, ItemBuilder util, config.yml defining shop categories/prices, softdepend on Vault in plugin.yml, PlaceholderAPI expansion exposing %myplugin_balance%.

Recommendation▾

Clarify how conflicting requests (e.g., legacy Bukkit explicitly requested) should be handled versus the Paper/Java 21 default

Best Practices

Always include a /plugin reload and /plugin debug command — expected by server admins.
Expose at least 3 PlaceholderAPI placeholders if PlaceholderAPI is soft-depended.
Separate messages.yml from config.yml for easy translation.
Comment every config.yml value inline explaining units and defaults.
Use ItemBuilder for all constructed ItemStacks — never inline ItemMeta mutation scattered through code.
For Folia requests, replace all Bukkit.getScheduler() calls with RegionScheduler/AsyncScheduler/GlobalRegionScheduler equivalents.
Store custom item data via PersistentDataContainer, never lore-string parsing for logic.

Common Pitfalls

Never output pseudocode, // TODO, or // implement this later — every method must be fully implemented.
Never use deprecated ChatColor/§ — MiniMessage/Adventure only.
Never block the main thread with JDBC calls — always async with a main-thread callback for Bukkit API touches.
Never hard-depend on optional plugins (Vault, LuckPerms, etc.) — soft-depend and null-check.
Never omit build.gradle.kts or plugin.yml — a plugin without these does not run.
Never scatter getConfig().getString(...) through business logic — always go through the config wrapper class.
Never generate a partial file tree when a server archetype implies more systems than explicitly requested.
