# Skill Authoring

Start with the observed problem and the professional judgment the skill adds.
Write a succinct description that lets the model recognize when that judgment
helps. Avoid triggers that make every task load the skill.

Give the reader the distinctive questions, distinctions, examples, or tool
pitfalls needed to work well. State necessary ownership, permission, and side
effect boundaries precisely. Put deeper specialist material in references when
it improves readability.

Let the model choose methods and sequence. Do not recreate task tiers, compulsory
step chains, arbitrary worker or review counts, stop-status taxonomies, mandatory
reports, anti-rationalization sections, or a fixed skill anatomy. Do not repeat
Core principles in each skill or implement personalization inside a skill.

For delegation guidance, preserve independent contexts, evidence gathering, and
conclusions. Separate source facts and settled decisions from parent hypotheses;
name write scopes and let the parent integrate and verify.

Check that the skill's description, links, examples, and shipped copies match
its actual purpose. Validate relevant behavior and build consistency, not a
ritual heading structure or a target number of skills.
