Authoring checklist

  1. State the concrete outcome and precise triggers in the frontmatter.
  2. Keep SKILL.md focused on the essential workflow and constraints.
  3. Put long examples, schemas, and mode-specific material in references/.
  4. Bundle scripts only for repeatable, deterministic work; document their inputs and side effects.
  5. State approval requirements for writes, deployments, connected apps, or other external actions.
  6. Validate the skill on a realistic task before sharing it.
