antonbabenko Adding Skills
Always register in AGENTS.md
Every new skill must have a routing entry in AGENTS.md under ## Skill routing. Without it, agents won't know to load the skill.
| <trigger description> | `skill-name` |
The trigger description should match the natural language phrases a user or agent would use when the skill is relevant. Check existing entries for style.
After adding the skill file, verify the entry exists — the skill is not discoverable until it is registered.
Script vs SKILL.md
When the task being documented is deterministic and repeatable (same inputs → same outputs, no ambiguity, can be verified), prefer a script over a pure SKILL.md:
| Situation | Prefer |
|---|---|
| Workflow requires judgment or context (e.g. designing hook behavior, choosing arg-parsing strategy) | SKILL.md |
| Workflow is a fixed sequence of CLI calls with predictable outputs | Script + unit tests |
| AI-only meta-task (e.g. how to add skills, how to create PRs) | SKILL.md |
When creating a script:
- Write unit tests covering pure functions (
test_<name>.pyor equivalent) - Keep the SKILL.md thin — point to the script and document usage, not the logic
