One thing to look at
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
REPLACE ME. State what the skill does AND when it should trigger, in one dense paragraph. Be specific and a little pushy about triggering — name the phrases, contexts, and task types that should invoke it (e.g. "Use this whenever the user mentions X, asks to Y, or is doing Z, even if they don't say 'skill'."). This description is the ONLY thing Claude sees when deciding whether to load the skill, so put all "when to use" info here, not in the body.
SKILL.md
1.7 KB, as published. Nobody here has run it
Skill Name
One or two sentences on what this skill does and the core idea behind it.
When to use
Describe the trigger conditions in plain terms — the situations, request phrasings, and task types where this skill should fire. (This mirrors the frontmatter description but in prose; the frontmatter is what actually drives triggering.) Note when NOT to use it, too.
Instructions
The actual steps Claude should follow. Keep the SKILL.md body under ~500 lines. If it grows past that, move detail into references/ and point to it here, e.g.:
For the full X, see
references/details.md— read it before doing Y.
Output conventions
How results should be formatted, labeled, or structured. Any conventions the skill should always follow.
Notes for the author (delete before committing):
- The folder name MUST equal the
name:field. Rename both together. - Folders starting with
_(like this one) are skipped by build_index.py and package.py, so this template never ships or appears in the catalog. - After copying: rename the folder, update all frontmatter fields, then run
python scripts/build_index.pyandpython scripts/package.py <name> --check.
