File contents

Template. Copy to <target-repo>/.agents/skills/<repo>-<domain>/SKILL.md and fill every bracketed placeholder from the live target repo. Delete this line and every other > guidance line before committing. See ../../references/repo-local-skill-generation.md for the full process.

-

[One or two sentences: what "" means in this repo specifically, and the one deterministic gate/command that is necessary-but-not-sufficient (name it, name what it can't prove).]

Surfaces

Only include rows for surfaces this repo actually has. Delete the rest. Every cell is a real path/command from the live repo, not a placeholder genre.

Changed area	Surface	Verification path
`<path-glob>`	[HTTP service / CLI / library / worker / SDK]	[exact command(s)]

Commands

Exact, copy-pasted invocations. Include the one-time setup a cold agent needs (env vars, local DB path, ports) and the fallback if the default port/resource is taken. If the repo's CI workflow differs from what AGENTS.md/README claims, name the mismatch here instead of picking one.

[real command 1]
[real command 2]

Gotchas

Repo-specific footguns a cold agent would otherwise rediscover the hard way — pulled from AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md's own footgun list, docs/, or the generation author's own dry run. Not generic advice ("write tests").
