## Notes
[Additional context, edge cases, gotchas]
- Report success with file path
- Suggest: "Edit
/skill edit <name> to customize content"
Example:
User: /skill add custom-logger
Assistant: Creating new skill 'custom-logger'...
Description: Enhanced logging with structured output
Triggers (comma-separated): log, logger, logging

Scope (user/project): user
✓ Created skill at ~/.gemini-cli/skills/omc-learned/custom-logger/SKILL.md

Error Handling
All commands must handle:
- File/directory doesn't exist
- Permission errors
- Invalid YAML frontmatter
- Duplicate skill names
- Invalid skill names (spaces, special chars)
Error format:
✗ Error: <clear message>
→ Suggestion: <helpful next step>
Usage Examples
/skill list
/skill add my-custom-skill
/skill remove old-skill
/skill edit error-handler
/skill search typescript error
/skill info my-custom-skill
/skill sync
Implementation Notes
- YAML Parsing: Use frontmatter extraction for metadata
- File Operations: Use Read/Write tools, never Edit for new files
- User Confirmation: Always confirm destructive operations
- Clear Feedback: Use checkmarks (✓), crosses (✗), arrows (→) for clarity
- Scope Resolution: Always check both user and project scopes
- Validation: Enforce naming conventions (lowercase, hyphens only)
Future Enhancements
/skill export <name> - Export skill as shareable file
/skill import <file> - Import skill from file
/skill stats - Show usage statistics across all skills
/skill validate - Check all skills for format errors
/skill template <type> - Create from predefined templates
