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

1. Confirm goal, trigger phrases, and category.
2. Define smallest viable package boundary.
3. Create/update required files with canonical names.
4. Move deep details to references and keep SKILL.md route-focused.
5. 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.
