Skill Builder Instructions

Follow these steps to create a new skill for the agent.

1. Understand the Request: Identify the name of the skill the user wants to create and its purpose/description. If the name is not clear, ask the user or propose a name (kebab-case preferred, e.g., feature-implementer).

2. Create Skill Directory:

   • Determine the path: .agent/skills/<skill_name> (where <skill_name> is the name of the new skill).
   • Create the directory if it does not exist.

3. Create SKILL.md:

   • Create a file named SKILL.md inside the new directory.
   • Populate it with the following template:

   ---
   name: <skill_name>
   description: <short description of what the skill does>
   ---
   # <Skill Name> Instructions
   
   <Detailed instructions on how to perform the skill. Break it down into steps.>
   
   ## Usage
   <Examples of when to use this skill>
   

4. Optional: Create Support Directories:

   • If the skill likely needs scripts or examples, create scripts/ or examples/ directories within the skill folder.

5. Notify User:

   • Inform the user that the skill scaffold has been created at .agent/skills/<skill_name>.
   • Ask if they want to populate the detailed instructions now.
