This template is customized for **OnoCoro specialized capabilities** with bundled resources (scripts, references, guides). Use when asked to: - **"Create a skill"** — Build a new Agent Skill from scratch - **"Make a new skill"** — Scaffold new capability - **"Build a skill for X"** — Specialized skill for OnoCoro feature - Building specialized AI capabilities with bundled resources ## What is an Agent Skill? An Agent Skill is a self-contained folder containing: - **SKILL.md** — Main instruction file with guidance and examples - **scripts/** — PowerShell/Python scripts for validation or automation - **references/** — Supporting documentation, checklists, patterns - **assets/** — Code samples, templates, configuration files ## Skill Directory Structure ``` .github/skills/[skill-name]/ ├── SKILL.md # Main skill definition ├── scripts/ # (Optional) Automation scripts │ └── validate-skill.ps1 ├── references/ # (Optional) Supporting docs │ ├── pattern-guide.md │ ├── checklist.md │ └── examples.md └── assets/ # (Optional) Templates/samples ├── template.cs └── config.yml ``` ## Creating a New OnoCoro Skill ### Step 1: Define the Skill Purpose ``` Skill Name: [Name] Purpose: [What the skill does] Target Audience: [AI Agent / Developer] Use Cases: - [Use case 1] - [Use case 2] ``` ### Step 2: Create Skill Directory ```powershell # Create skill folder New-Item -Type Directory -Path ".github/skills/[skill-name]" # Create SKILL.md New-Item -Type File -Path ".github/skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md" # Create subfolders if needed New-Item -Type Directory -Path ".github/skills/[skill-name]/scripts" New-Item -Type Directory -Path ".github/skills/[skill-name]/references" ``` ### Step 3: Write SKILL.md Use this template: ```markdown --- name: [skill-name] description: [One-sentence description of what the skill does. Include "OnoCoro" context.] compatibility: [e.g., "Works with GitHub Copilot", "Requires X MCP Server"] --- # [Skill Name] [Purpose and overview] ## When to Use - [Use case 1] - [Use case 2] - [Use case 3] ## Key Features | Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | [Feature 1] | [Description] | | [Feature 2] | [Description] | ## Usage Examples ### Example 1 [Describe scenario] ```csharp // Code example ``` ### Example 2 [Describe scenario] ```powershell # Script example ``` ## Best Practices - [Practice 1] - [Practice 2] - [Practice 3] ## Related Documentation - [AGENTS.md](../../../AGENTS.md) - [Other docs...] --- **Last Updated**: 2026-01-20 ``` ### Step 4: Add Supporting Files (Optional) **scripts/validate-skill.ps1:** ```powershell # PowerShell script for validation or automation # Example: Check for missing configurations param( [string]$ProjectPath = "g:\unity\OnoCoro2026" ) Write-Host "Validating skill requirements..." if (-not (Test-Path "$ProjectPath/.github/skills")) { Write-Error "Skills folder not found" exit 1 } Write-Host "Validation passed!" ``` **references/pattern-guide.md:** ```markdown # [Skill Name] Patterns ## Pattern 1 [Description] ```csharp // Code pattern ``` ## Checklist - [ ] Item 1 - [ ] Item 2 ``` **assets/template.cs:** ```csharp // Template for common code patterns in this skill ``` ### Step 5: Document in Skills README Add entry to [.github/skills/README.md](.github/skills/README.md): ```markdown | [Skill Name] | [Description] | scripts/ references/ | |--------------|---------------|---------------------| ``` ## OnoCoro Skill Examples ### Recommended Skills to Create #### 1. `unity-recovery-validator` **Purpose**: Validate Recovery phase code against AGENTS.md standards **Files**: - `SKILL.md` — Validation guidance - `scripts/validate-recovery.ps1` — Check for null checks, magic numbers - `references/recovery-checklist.md` — Pre-commit checklist - `references/recovery-patterns.md` — Approved patterns #### 2. `plateau-data-processor` **Purpose**: PLATEAU SDK data processing and validation **Files**: - `SKILL.md` — PLATEAU processing guidance - `references/crs-guide.md` — Coordinate Reference System guide - `references/mesh-patterns.md` — Mesh generation patterns - `scripts/validate-plateau.ps1` — Validate geospatial data #### 3. `prefab-manager-assistant` **Purpose**: PrefabManager usage and management **Files**: - `SKILL.md` — PrefabManager patterns - `references/prefab-checklist.md` — Integration checklist - `scripts/find-resources-load.ps1` — Detect Resources.Load calls - `assets/PrefabManager-template.cs` — Template for new managers ## Skill Best Practices ### Documentation - Clear, actionable instructions - Real OnoCoro code examples - Links to [AGENTS.md](../../../AGENTS.md) and other guidelines - Before/after examples showing improvement ### Scripts - Make idempotent (safe to run multiple times) - Include error checking - Output clear success/failure messages - Use PowerShell 5.1 (Windows compatibility) ### References - Provide checklists for validation - Include pattern examples - Link to official documentation - Keep focused on one topic per file ### Organization - One skill per feature/capability - Self-contained (don't reference other skills) - Include LICENSE.txt for clarity - Add Last Updated date to SKILL.md ## Skill Lifecycle 1. **Create** — Use this template 2. **Test** — Verify with example code 3. **Document** — Add to .github/skills/README.md 4. **Integrate** — Reference in .github/copilot/README.md 5. **Maintain** — Update as standards evolve ## Related Documentation - **awesome-copilot Skills**: https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/main/skills - **Agent Skills Spec**: https://agentskills.io/specification - **OnoCoro AGENTS.md**: [AGENTS.md](../../../AGENTS.md) - **OnoCoro Instructions**: [.github/instructions/](../../instructions/) --- **Last Updated**: 2026-01-20 **Template Version**: 1.0 --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/kuippa) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
