Skill Creator

Skill Creator

Use this skill to bootstrap a new skill correctly the first time.

Procedure

1. Validate the inputs:

   • skill_name must be kebab-case, all lowercase, ASCII letters/numbers/dashes only.
   • runtime must be in-process or acpx. If acpx, acpx_agent is required.

2. Create the directory Tlamatini/agent/skills_pkg/${input.skill_name}/.

3. Author SKILL.md with this minimal scaffold:

---
name: ${input.skill_name}
description: ${input.description}
metadata:
  tlamatini:
    runtime: ${input.runtime}
    acpx_agent: ${input.acpx_agent}     # only if runtime=acpx
    requires_tools: []
    requires_mcps:  []
    budget:
      max_iterations: 8
      max_seconds: 120
      max_tokens: 16000
    permissions:
      filesystem: { read: [], write: [] }
      shell:     []
      network:   deny
      db:        deny
    inputs:  []
    outputs: []
    triggers:
      keywords:   []
      file_globs: []
---

# ${input.skill_name}

Describe the skill. Be concise. Body must stay under 8 KiB.

4. Run the linter:

   python Tlamatini/agent/skills_pkg/_meta/lint.py
   

5. Return { "skill_dir": "<path>", "lint_status": "<linter stdout last line>" }.

Constraints

• Do NOT write outside Tlamatini/agent/skills_pkg/<skill_name>/.
• Do NOT add a skill whose name collides with an existing one — the registry rejects duplicates. The lint step catches this.
• Body length cap is 8 KiB. Long playbooks belong in references/<file>.md inside the skill directory and should be referenced from the body, not inlined.
• Skills with runtime: acpx MUST set acpx_agent to a registered agent_id (see list_acp_agents).
• Scratch/output under <app>/Temp (2026-06-02 policy): if the skill writes any temporary or intermediate file, target <app>/Temp — read the TLAMATINI_TEMP env var, or (in-process) resolve via agent/path_guard.py::resolve_temp_path — never C:\Temp / %TEMP%, and declare that path in permissions.filesystem.write. Files the user keeps (deliverables) go to their chosen path; only throwaway artefacts go to Temp. See prompt.pmt Rule 15.
