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
