Mode Detection
| Input Pattern | Mode | Behavior |
|---|
| Empty or blank | Interactive | Prompt for skill name |
<skill-name> | Explicit | Create skill with provided name |
Skill Creation Process
Step 1: Name Validation
Validate the skill name follows S-V-O convention:
| Pattern | Valid | Examples |
|---|
/aget-<verb>-<object> | ✓ Default | /aget-create-skill, /aget-check-health |
/aget-<verb> | ✓ Intransitive | /aget-learn, /aget-checkpoint |
/aget-<phrasal-verb> | ✓ Exception | /aget-wake-up, /aget-wind-down |
| Other patterns | ✗ Invalid | /aget-skill-create (O-V not S-V-O) |
Check for existing skill:
ls .claude/skills/ | grep -q "<name>"
If skill exists, STOP and report conflict.
Step 2: Determine Skill Number
Check specs/skills/INDEX.md for next available SKILL-XXX number.
Current registry:
- SKILL-001 through SKILL-005: Existing
- SKILL-006: Reserved for /aget-create-project
- SKILL-007: This skill (/aget-create-skill)
- SKILL-008+: Available
Step 3: Create Skill Specification
Create specs/skills/SKILL-XXX_<name>.md with:
- Purpose section
- Requirements (R-SKILL-XXX-001, etc.) in EARS format
- Test cases
- Traceability section
Step 4: Create SKILL.md
- Create directory:
.claude/skills/<name>/
- Copy structure from
templates/skill/SKILL.template.md
- Fill in required fields:
Required frontmatter:
---
name: <name>
description: <one-line description>
---
For skills with side effects (file writes, git operations):
disable-model-invocation: true
Instruction format (per L561 - Instruction Asymmetry):
- Use PROHIBITIVE form: "NEVER", "SHALL NOT", "DO NOT"
- Avoid affirmative form (~0% compliance)
Step 5: Update Index
Add entry to specs/skills/INDEX.md:
| SKILL-XXX | [<name>](SKILL-XXX_<name>.md) | ACTIVE | <primary finding> |
Step 6: Report
Output summary of created artifacts:
- Skill spec location
- SKILL.md location
- Index update status
Output Format
## Skill Created: /aget-<name>
**Artifacts**:
- Spec: specs/skills/SKILL-XXX_<name>.md
- Implementation: .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
- Index: specs/skills/INDEX.md (updated)
**Next Steps**:
1. Test skill invocation: `/aget-<name>`
2. Verify behavior matches spec
3. Create L-doc if significant learnings
Constraints
These are INVIOLABLE - you MUST NOT violate these constraints:
- NEVER create a skill with non-S-V-O name without documented exception
- NEVER overwrite an existing skill without explicit confirmation
- NEVER create SKILL.md without valid frontmatter (name, description)
- NEVER use affirmative constraints - use prohibitive form per L561
- DO check for existing skills before creating
- DO use templates/skill/SKILL.template.md as base
- DO include Traceability section in SKILL.md
- DO update specs/skills/INDEX.md after creation
Rationale
Per AGET theoretical grounding:
- Stigmergy (Grasse): Skill artifacts enable cross-session coordination
- Extended Mind (Clark/Chalmers): Templates and SOPs extend agent skill-creation capability
- Evidence-First Design (L289): Specs before implementation
- Instruction Asymmetry (L561): Prohibitive instructions for governance
This skill implements the "template-driven skill creation" pattern per SOP_SKILL_DEVELOPMENT.md.
