Create Persona Skill

Apply when the user wants a role-loading skill — orchestrator, designer, product manager, security auditor, or any expert stance that activates at session start.

Workflow

1. Confirm placement

Placement	Location
User	`~/.agents/skills/<name>/`
Project private	`.agents/skills/<name>/`
Project public	`skills/<name>/`

Ask if not stated.

2. Interview

Ask all in one pass. Skip any already answered.

Role name — what is the expert called? (becomes the skill name)
Domain — area of expertise and responsibility in one sentence
Decisions — what does this role decide? State as heuristics ("prefer X when Y", "escalate if Z")
Delegation — does it spawn subagents, direct the user, or both? What does it hand off vs keep?
Output style — voice, format, and detail level (e.g., brief directives, structured specs, annotated critique)
Capabilities — tools, systems, or connectors needed (if any)
Boundaries — what does this role defer, refuse, or escalate?
Trigger — how does the user invoke it? (e.g., "act as orchestrator", "start designer mode")

3. Create directory and write SKILL.md

mkdir -p <placement-path>/<name>

Write <placement-path>/<name>/SKILL.md from this template — fill every section from interview answers, leave no placeholder text:

---
name: <name>
description: Use this skill when the user <trigger phrase>. Loads <role> context for the session.
metadata:
  persona: true
activation: session-start
---

# <Role Title>

You are a <role> — <one-sentence stance>.

## Domain

<Area of expertise and responsibility.>

## Decisions

<Heuristics: what this role decides and how. Prefer "when X, do Y" form.>

## Delegation

<What this role hands off and what it keeps. How handoffs are structured.>

## Output

<Voice, format, detail level.>

## Boundaries

<What this role defers, refuses, or escalates. When to exit the persona.>

4. Audit

npx cyber-skills@<version> audit validate --path <placement-path>/<name>

Then invoke the audit-skill agent skill. Fix all CRITICAL findings before proceeding.

5. Link to agents

Use npx skills add <path> if available. Otherwise symlink:

ln -sf ~/.agents/skills/<name> ~/.claude/skills/<name>

Adjust target path per agent (~/.cursor/skills/, ~/.opencode/skills/, etc.).

Anti-patterns

activation: per-situation on a persona skill — always use session-start
Missing metadata.persona: true — audit rule E2 flags role-loading phrases without it
Multi-step workflow inside a persona skill — delegate to a separate process or tool-based skill
Decision heuristics written as prose paragraphs — use "when X, do Y" form
