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.
