2. Create directory: workspace/skills/<skill-name>/
3. Write SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter

Instructions for using this skill...

Frontmatter Fields

• name (required): Must match the directory name, lowercase [a-z0-9-]
• description (required): Clear description of what the skill does AND when to trigger it

Guidelines

• Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines
• Be concise — the context window is shared
• Include examples over verbose explanations
• Only add information the agent doesn't already know
• Split large reference material into references/*.md files
• Don't create README.md, CHANGELOG.md, or other auxiliary files
