quaylabshq Skill Graph Creator
This skill provides a navigable reference graph for creating skill graphs. All detailed content lives in reference files and tool scripts — this file contains only navigation.
Core Principles
Foundational rules preserved from the skill creation framework:
| Principle | Reference |
|---|---|
| Overview of all principles | references/core-principles/overview.md |
| Conciseness & context efficiency | references/core-principles/conciseness.md |
| Degrees of freedom | references/core-principles/degrees-of-freedom.md |
| Progressive disclosure | references/core-principles/progressive-disclosure.md |
| Skill anatomy & structure | references/core-principles/skill-anatomy.md |
| Problem decomposition | references/core-principles/problem-decomposition.md |
| One-shot design | references/core-principles/one-shot-design.md |
Graph Architecture
How to structure skills as interlinked graphs instead of monolithic files:
| Topic | Reference |
|---|---|
| Graph principles overview | references/graph-architecture/overview.md |
| Index design (lean SKILL.md) | references/graph-architecture/index-design.md |
| Interlinking patterns | references/graph-architecture/interlinking.md |
| Content decomposition | references/graph-architecture/decomposition.md |
| Extension points | references/graph-architecture/extension-points.md |
| Context management | references/graph-architecture/context-management.md |
Creation Process
Nine-step process for building a skill graph. Steps 0.5, 1–2, and 9 are mandatory and must never be skipped:
| Step | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | Full process summary | references/creation-process/overview.md |
| 0.5. Domain classification | Classify task profile | references/creation-process/domain-classification.md |
| 1. Clarification | Mandatory questioning phase | references/creation-process/step-1-clarification.md |
| 2. Research | Gather best practices & standards | references/creation-process/step-2-research.md |
| 3. Understand | Concrete usage examples | references/creation-process/step-3-understand.md |
| 4. Plan | Structure the graph & resources | references/creation-process/step-4-plan.md |
| 5. Initialize | Run init_skill_graph.py | references/creation-process/step-5-initialize.md |
| 6. Implement | Write index, references, scripts | references/creation-process/step-6-implement.md |
| 7. Package | Run package_skill.py | references/creation-process/step-7-package.md |
| 8. Iterate | Refine based on real usage | references/creation-process/step-8-iterate.md |
| 9. Final eval | Bird's-eye review of entire skill graph | references/creation-process/step-9-final-eval.md |
| — Pre/Post eval | Evaluation gates wrapping every step | references/creation-process/pre-post-eval.md |
| — Feedback checkpoints | Structured validation loops | references/creation-process/feedback-checkpoints.md |
Frameworks
Reusable frameworks referenced throughout the creation process:
| Framework | Purpose | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Questionnaire | Mandatory clarification & ongoing questioning | references/questionnaire-framework/overview.md |
| Research | Best practices & standards gathering | references/research-framework/overview.md |
| Planning | Todo lists & permanent process steps | references/planning-framework/overview.md |
Tool Scripts
| Tool | Script | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Initialize | scripts/init_skill_graph.py | Create a new skill graph from template |
| Validate | scripts/validate_graph.py | Validate graph structure, links, and metadata |
| Package | scripts/package_skill.py | Package skill graph into distributable .skill file |
