Intent-Solutions Standards Implemented
1. Frontmatter Enhancements
---
name: skill-name
version: 1.0.0
description: |
Clear skill description.
Use when [specific use case].
Trigger with phrases like "phrase1", "phrase2", or "phrase3".
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(scope:*)
license: MIT
---
Key Features:
- Version field for tracking skill updates
- Multi-line description with trigger phrases
- Scoped Bash tools for category isolation
- MIT license for open usage
2. Scoped Bash Tool Format
Purpose: Restrict Bash commands to category-specific operations for security and clarity.
Examples:
- Testing:
Bash(test:unit-*)- Only unit testing commands - API Dev:
Bash(api:graphql-*)- Only GraphQL operations - Crypto:
Bash(crypto:onchain-*)- Only blockchain queries
Benefits:
- Clear intent about allowed operations
- Security through limited scope
- Better error messages when misused
- Self-documenting skill capabilities
3. Required Section Structure
Prerequisites
- Environment setup requirements
- Required tools and libraries
- Access credentials and permissions
- Configuration prerequisites
- Network connectivity needs
Instructions
Four-step workflow pattern:

4. Path Variables
Using {baseDir} for portable paths:
{baseDir}/src/
{baseDir}/tests/
{baseDir}/config/
{baseDir}/reports/
Benefits:
- Works across different project structures
- No hardcoded absolute paths
- Better documentation clarity
- Compatible with containerized environments
