• Create command — new orchestration workflow at .claude/commands/ or ~/.claude/commands/
• Create skill — new skill file at .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md (progressive loading, no @ refs)
• Create agent — new role + expertise file at .claude/agents/
• Convert — restyle existing command/skill/agent to GSD conventions with zero content loss

Content separation principle (from GSD): commands/skills own orchestration flow; agents own domain knowledge. Skills are a variant of commands but loaded progressively inline — they CANNOT use @ file references.

Invoked when user requests "create command", "new command", "create skill", "new skill", "create agent", "new agent", "convert command", "convert skill", "convert agent", "prompt generator", or "优化". </purpose>

1. Determine Artifact Type

Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine what to generate.

Convert mode detection: If args contain a file path (.md extension) + conversion keywords, enter convert mode. Extract $SOURCE_PATH from args. Auto-detect source type from path:

• .claude/commands/ → command
• .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md → skill
• .claude/agents/ → agent

Skill vs Command distinction: Skills (.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md) are loaded progressively inline into the conversation context. They CANNOT use @ file references — only Read() tool calls within process steps. See @specs/command-design-spec.md → "Skill Variant" section.

If ambiguous:

AskUserQuestion(
  header: "Artifact Type",
  question: "What type of prompt file do you want to generate?",
  options: [
    { label: "Command", description: "New orchestration workflow — process steps, user interaction, agent spawning" },
    { label: "Skill", description: "New skill file — progressive loading, no @ refs, inline Read() for external files" },
    { label: "Agent", description: "New role definition — identity, domain expertise, behavioral rules" },
    { label: "Convert", description: "Restyle existing command/agent/skill to GSD conventions (zero content loss)" }
  ]
)

Store as $ARTIFACT_TYPE (command | skill | agent | convert).

2. Validate Parameters

If $ARTIFACT_TYPE is convert: Skip to Step 2c.

Extract from $ARGUMENTS or ask interactively:

Common parameters (create mode):

Command-specific parameters:

Agent-specific parameters:

Normalize: trim + lowercase for $NAME, $LOCATION, $GROUP.

3. Resolve Target Path

Command:

If $GROUP:
  $TARGET_PATH = {base}/{$GROUP}/{$NAME}.md
Else:
  $TARGET_PATH = {base}/{$NAME}.md

Skill:

$TARGET_PATH = .claude/skills/{$NAME}/SKILL.md

Agent:

$TARGET_PATH = .claude/agents/{$NAME}.md

Check if $TARGET_PATH exists → $FILE_EXISTS.

4. Gather Requirements

4a. Pattern discovery — Find 3+ similar files in the project for style reference:

# For commands: scan existing commands
ls .claude/commands/**/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -5

# For agents: scan existing agents
ls .claude/agents/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -5

Read 1-2 similar files to extract patterns: section structure, naming conventions, XML tag usage, prompt style.

4b. Domain inference from $NAME, $DESCRIPTION, and context:

For commands — determine complexity:

For agents — determine expertise scope:

If unclear, ask user with AskUserQuestion.

5. Generate Content

Route to the appropriate generation logic based on $ARTIFACT_TYPE.

5a. Command Generation

Follow @specs/command-design-spec.md and @templates/command-md.md.

Generate a complete command file with:

1. <purpose> — 2-3 sentences: what + when + what it produces
2. <required_reading> — @ references to context files
3. <process> — numbered steps (GSD workflow style):
   • Step 1: Initialize / parse arguments
   • Steps 2-N: Domain-specific orchestration logic
   • Each step: banner display, validation, agent spawning via Agent(), error handling
   • Final step: status display + <offer_next> with next actions
4. <success_criteria> — checkbox list of verifiable conditions

Command writing rules:

• Steps are numbered (## 1., ## 2.) — follow plan-phase.md and new-project.md style
• Use banners for phase transitions: ━━━ SKILL ► ACTION ━━━
• Agent spawning uses Agent({ subagent_type, prompt, description, run_in_background }) pattern
• Prompt to agents uses <objective>, <files_to_read>, <output> blocks
• Include <offer_next> block with formatted completion status
• Handle agent return markers: ## TASK COMPLETE, ## TASK BLOCKED, ## CHECKPOINT REACHED
• Shell blocks use heredoc for multi-line, quote all variables
• Include <auto_mode> section if command supports --auto flag

5a-skill. Skill Generation (variant of command)

Follow @specs/command-design-spec.md → "Skill Variant" section.

Skills are command-like orchestrators but loaded progressively inline — they CANNOT use @ file references.

Generate a complete skill file with:

1. <purpose> — 2-3 sentences: what + when + what it produces
2. NO <required_reading> — skills cannot use @ refs. External files loaded via Read() within process steps.
3. <process> — numbered steps (GSD workflow style):
   • Step 1: Initialize / parse arguments / set workflow preferences
   • Steps 2-N: Domain-specific orchestration logic with inline Read("phases/...") for phase files
   • Each step: validation, agent spawning via Agent(), error handling
   • Final step: completion status or handoff to next skill via Skill()
4. <success_criteria> — checkbox list of verifiable conditions

Skill-specific writing rules:

• NO <required_reading> tag — @ syntax not supported in skills
• NO @path references anywhere in the file — use Read("path") within <process> steps
• Phase files loaded on-demand: Read("phases/01-xxx.md") within the step that needs it
• Frontmatter uses allowed-tools: (not argument-hint:)
• <offer_next> is optional — skills often chain via Skill() calls
• <auto_mode> can be inline within <process> step 1 or as standalone section

5b. Agent Generation

Follow @specs/agent-design-spec.md and @templates/agent-md.md.

Generate a complete agent definition with:

1. YAML frontmatter — name, description, tools, color (optional)
2. <role> — identity + spawned-by + core responsibilities + mandatory initial read
3. Domain sections (2-6 based on scope):
   • <philosophy> — guiding principles, anti-patterns
   • <context_fidelity> — how to honor upstream decisions
   • <task_breakdown> / <output_format> — concrete output rules with examples
   • <quality_gate> — self-check criteria before returning
   • Custom domain sections as needed
4. Output contract — structured return markers to orchestrator

Agent writing rules:

• <role> is ALWAYS first after frontmatter — defines identity
• Each section owns ONE concern — no cross-cutting
• Include concrete examples (good vs bad comparison tables) in every domain section
• Include decision/routing tables for conditional logic
• Quality gate uses checkbox format for self-verification
• Agent does NOT contain orchestration logic, user interaction, or argument parsing

5c. Convert Mode (Restyle Existing File)

CRITICAL: Zero content loss. Follow @specs/conversion-spec.md.

Step 5c.1: Read and inventory source file.

Read $SOURCE_PATH completely. Build content inventory:

$INVENTORY = {
  frontmatter: { fields extracted },
  sections: [ { name, tag, line_range, line_count, has_code_blocks, has_tables } ],
  code_blocks: count,
  tables: count,
  total_lines: count
}

Step 5c.2: Classify source type.

Skill-specific conversion rules:

• NO <required_reading> — skills cannot use @ file references (progressive loading)
• NO @path references anywhere — replace with Read("path") within <process> steps
• If source has @specs/... or @phases/... refs, convert to Read("specs/...") / Read("phases/...")
• Follow @specs/conversion-spec.md → "Skill Conversion Rules" section

Step 5c.3: Build conversion map.

Map every source section to its target location. Follow @specs/conversion-spec.md transformation rules.

MANDATORY: Every line of source content must appear in the conversion map. If a source section has no clear target, keep it as a custom section.

Step 5c.4: Generate converted content.

Apply structural transformations while preserving ALL content verbatim:

• Rewrap into GSD XML tags
• Restructure sections to match target template ordering
• Add missing required sections (empty <quality_gate>, <output_contract>) with TODO markers
• Preserve all code blocks, tables, examples, shell commands exactly as-is

Step 5c.5: Content loss verification (MANDATORY).

Compare source and output:

If ANY metric fails → STOP, display diff, ask user before proceeding.

Set $TARGET_PATH = $SOURCE_PATH (in-place conversion) unless user specifies output path.

Content quality rules (both types):

• NO bracket placeholders ([Describe...]) — all content concrete
• NO generic instructions ("handle errors appropriately") — be specific
• Include domain-specific examples derived from $DESCRIPTION
• Every shell block: heredoc for multi-line, quoted variables, error exits

6. Quality Gate

MANDATORY before writing. Read back the generated content and validate against type-specific checks.

6a. Structural Validation (both types)

6b. Command-Specific Checks

6b-skill. Skill-Specific Checks

6c. Agent-Specific Checks

6d. Quality Gate Result

Count errors and warnings:

If FAIL and second attempt also fails:

AskUserQuestion(
  header: "Quality Gate Failed",
  question: "Generated content failed quality checks twice. How to proceed?",
  options: [
    { label: "Show issues and proceed", description: "Write as-is, fix manually" },
    { label: "Provide more context", description: "I'll give additional details" },
    { label: "Abort", description: "Cancel generation" }
  ]
)

7. Write and Verify

If $FILE_EXISTS: Warn user before overwriting.

mkdir -p "$(dirname "$TARGET_PATH")"

Write content to $TARGET_PATH using Write tool.

Post-write verification — Read back and confirm file integrity:

• File exists and is non-empty
• Content matches what was generated (no corruption)
• File size is reasonable (command: 50-500 lines; agent: 80-600 lines)

If verification fails: Fix in-place with Edit tool.
