Create Skill

Create Skill

Purpose

Generate complete SKILL.md artifacts for one skill folder, with explicit constraints and reusable references.

When To Use

• Use this skill when creating a new skill folder under skills/.
• Use this skill when regenerating a SKILL.md file to align with repository skill standards.
• Do not use this skill for validating an existing skill.

Required Inputs

• Skill slug (name) and target folder path.
• Capability summary and usage triggers.
• Required inputs, workflow outputs, and failure boundaries.
• Safety and portability constraints.

Workflow

1. Run discovery sequence in references/discovery-phases.md.
2. Apply schema and field rules from references/field-constraints.md.
3. Assemble required body sections using references/output-schema.md.
4. Apply safety constraints from references/safety.md.
5. Produce final artifact using references/output-format.md.
6. Validate against references/quality-checklist.md before final output.

Output Expectations

• One complete SKILL.md artifact at skills/{name}/SKILL.md.
• Frontmatter and folder-name parity are correct.
• Body sections are complete, actionable, and concise.
• Output remains provider-neutral and portable.

Resources

• Discovery workflow: references/discovery-phases.md
• Field constraints: references/field-constraints.md
• Output schema: references/output-schema.md
• Safety policy: references/safety.md
• Output contract: references/output-format.md
• Quality checklist: references/quality-checklist.md
• Skill template: ../../templates/skill_template/SKILL.md

Constraints And Safety

• Keep skill instructions concise and execution-oriented.
• Avoid provider-specific lock-in wording.
• Use relative paths for local references.
• Treat allowed-tools as optional/experimental unless explicitly required.
