Rules

The bundle format is validated by @skillist/skill-format. SKILL.md frontmatter must satisfy skillFrontmatterSchema: name (lowercase-hyphen, ≤64, matching the directory), description (≤1024), optional license, compatibility, metadata, allowed-tools.
Allowed structure: SKILL.md at root; optional scripts/, references/, assets/ dirs; optional plugin.json. Nothing else at the root.
Study a sibling for the house style: examples/skills/api-design/, git-commit/, registry-mcp/, security-audit/, sql-review/, cloudflare-deploy/. Match their tone and structure.
These bundles are fixtures + seed data + eval inputs — keep them realistic and self-contained. assets/ are Biome-ignored.

Steps

Create examples/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md with valid frontmatter and instructions. (createSkillTemplate in @skillist/skill-format shows the canonical shape.)
Add any scripts/ / references/ / assets/ the skill needs.
Validate: run the skill-format tests, or pnpm cli to lint/review the bundle, or the review action. At minimum confirm validateSkillBundle passes.

Verify

pnpm --filter @skillist/skill-format test (fixtures are exercised here).
Optionally pnpm seed:registry (dev DB) to confirm it seeds, and pnpm run:public-evals if it should be an eval target.
pnpm check.
