description	Create, improve, test, and deploy skills. Full skill lifecycle from intent to working skill file.
tools	["bash","read","write","edit","glob","grep"]

Create new skills or improve existing ones through a structured workflow.

When to Use

• Creating a new skill from scratch
• Improving an underperforming skill
• Porting a skill from one integration to another

When NOT to Use

• Quick one-off automations (just script it)
• When the need is too vague (brainstorm first)

Process

1. Intent capture

Gather:

• What should this skill do?
• When should it trigger?
• What tools does it need?
• What's the expected output?

2. Draft the SKILL.md

Use the standard structure:

---
name: ctx-{name}
description: "..."
tools: [bash, read, write, ...]
---

Sections: When to Use, When NOT to Use, Process, Quality Checklist.

3. Validate

Check against skill audit dimensions:

• Positive framing
• Clear scope
• Good examples
• No phantom references
• Overtriggering guard

4. Test

If possible, do a dry run of the skill's workflow to verify it works end-to-end.

5. Deploy

Write the file to the appropriate skills directory:

• Claude: internal/assets/claude/skills/{name}/SKILL.md
• Copilot CLI: internal/assets/integrations/copilot-cli/skills/{name}/SKILL.md

6. Build

Run go build ./cmd/ctx/... to verify the embed compiles.
