Claude Skill Creator/Specialist

About UsHotwire is the pre-eminent global tech communications and marketing consultancy. We are a group of expert communicators and marketers who are fanatical about tech and here to help businesses ignite their possibilities. Our local experience and global scale enable us to deliver bold yet pragmatic guidance to tech companies worldwide.This role sits within Hotwire's AI Lab, but its remit spans the wider Enero Group: Hotwire, BMF, Orchard, and ROI·DNA. The skills you build will be used by colleagues across all four agencies. We have been named a Best Place to Work by PR Week, PR News, and Crain's New York year after year.Role OverviewThe Claude Skill Creator is the builder behind the Group Skill Library. They take a raw requirement from an agency delivery team (a client brief, a media analysis, a pitch deck assembly) and turn it into a well-structured, well-documented, production-ready Skill that others can trigger reliably without knowing how it was made. This is a hands-on craft role, not a research or strategy role.The work demands a logical mindset. You write for a machine that takes you literally, so you must specify precisely. You resist treating fluent output as correct output, so you evaluate rather than admire. And you make a real judgment call, early, about whether a skill is worth building at all. Not every workflow deserves one. The Skill Creator works alongside the Claude Specialist for Skills and Prompt Engineering, who sets library standards; the Creator ships the skills that populate the library.Key Responsibilities•    Build and ship production-ready Claude Skills end-to-end from an SRD (Skill Requirement Document) or agency brief•    Build production-grade Claude Skills end-to-end, from an SRD (Skill Requirement Document) or agency brief through to a packaged, tested, documented skill in the Group Library•    Make the build-or-don't-build call early. Not every workflow deserves a skill; sometimes a prompt or a template does the job better•    Author clear, trigger-accurate SKILL.md files with precise descriptions, correct YAML frontmatter, and progressive disclosure across references/ and scripts/•    Break complex workflows into the right skill structure and chaining logic •    Design guardrails, context systems, and required references/schemas/connectors to avoid guessing/hallucinations•    Create supporting assets like schemas, examples, prompt templates, and light Python utilities •    Test for trigger accuracy, quality, edge cases, and failure modes; iterate and version properly •    Turn agency briefs into clear technical specs (without losing intent) and user-friendly documentationMust Have •    Stronghold on prompt engineering (Structured prompting, reasoning, and evaluation) and context engineering (design the reference files, input schemas, retrieval patterns, and progressive disclosure)•    Hands-on Claude experience - Claude.ai, Projects, API, or CoWork. Candidates must be prepared to showcase skills, prompts, or workflows they have built•    Strong evaluation mindset: check what the skill produced against what it was supposed to produce•    Working knowledge of how LLMs fail (context degradation, spec drift, tool selection error, hallucinated structure) and how to design around these patterns•    Excellent written English and a collaborative style, with clear communication for both LLMs and agency teamsNice to Have•    Comfort with light Python scripting for helper scripts inside skills. Not a hard requirement, but useful for the moments where a skill needs a small utility to preprocess or validate•    Familiarity with code review practices. You do not need to ship production code, but being able to read a pull request and spot obvious issues is a plus•    Working comfort with Git, YAML, and Markdown. Standard tools of the craft; easy to pick up if not already familiar•    Prior experience building and shipping Claude Skills, including packaging and trigger tuning•    Familiarity with MCP, Claude Connectors, or other agentic tooling patterns•    Background in technical writing, developer experience, or documentation engineering•    Exposure to LLM evaluation frameworks such as eval suites, rubrics, or benchmark design•    Public portfolio: open-source skills, prompt libraries, or published prompt engineering workEducation & Experience·       Degree in engineering, computer science, linguistics, or a related discipline (preferred)·       Strong portfolio of skills, prompts, or AI workflows valued more than formal education·       2–3 years in marketing, PR, advertising, or creative agency is a strong plus·       Agency understanding of briefs, deliverables, and client work is beneficial.Skillset✦ Prompt Engineering (Advanced)✦  Context Engineering✦  SRD & Specification Writing✦  Claude Ecosystem Fluency✦  Systems Thinking✦  SKILL.md Authoring & Packaging✦  Output Evaluation Discipline✦  Guardrail & Scope Design✦  LLM Failure Mode Literacy✦  Build-vs-Don't-Build JudgementWhy Us·       Flexibility.
