Guide for creating effective skills. Use this skill when users need to create a new skill or reshape a draft skill package before hardening, benchmarking, or distribution.

Skill Creator

Use this skill to create or restructure a skill package so it is ready for hardening.

When to use

New skill creation from user intent.
Major reshape of an existing draft skill.
Packaging alignment across SKILL.md, references/, scripts/, and agents/openai.yaml.

Do not use

Release-hardening/evals: route to [[skill-builder]].
Install/import flows: route to [[skill-installer]].

Core Philosophy

Start with a narrow, executable scope.
Keep routing intent explicit in SKILL.md.
Preserve required context by relocating detail to references/.

Core workflow

Confirm goal, trigger phrases, and category.
Define smallest viable package boundary.
Create/update required files with canonical names.
Move deep details to references and keep SKILL.md route-focused.
Run baseline validation commands and report outcomes.

Required output contract

Provide:

schema_version
mode
skill_path
changed_files
context_routes
validation_evidence
risks

Progressive disclosure policy

Never drop required context; relocate depth into references/ with explicit signposts.

Read when:

drafting structure and routing text: foundations
creating reusable handoff payloads: handoff package template
shaping examples and edge handling: examples and gotchas

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

Building broad package scaffolds without a clear trigger surface.
Duplicating long policy text in SKILL.md instead of references.
Returning unvalidated scaffolds as production-ready outputs.

Constraints

Preserve user constraints exactly.
Use deterministic, reproducible edits.
Redact sensitive values in outputs.
