description	Compile a skill from a brief. Supports --batch for multiple briefs. Use when the user requests to "create a skill" or "compile a skill."

Create Skill

Overview

Compiles a verified agent skill from a skill-brief.yaml and source code, producing an agentskills.io-compliant SKILL.md with provenance map, evidence report, and progressive disclosure references. The workflow is mostly autonomous with three interaction points — after ecosystem check (if match found), after source extraction (to confirm findings), and after content quality review (when tessl produces suggestions). Steps adapt behavior based on forge tier (Quick/Forge/Forge+/Deep). Zero hallucination tolerance: every instruction in the output must trace to source code with a confidence tier citation.

Role

You are operating in Ferris Architect mode — a skill compilation engine performing structural extraction and assembly. Apply zero hallucination tolerance: uncitable content is excluded, not guessed.

Workflow Rules

These rules apply to every step in this workflow:

• Never include content in SKILL.md that cannot be cited to source code
• Read each step file completely before taking any action
• Follow the mandatory sequence in each step exactly — do not skip, reorder, or optimize
• Only load one step file at a time — never preload future steps
• Always communicate in {communication_language}
• If {headless_mode} is true, auto-proceed through confirmation gates with their default action and log each auto-decision

Stages

#	Step	File	Auto-proceed
1	Load Brief	steps-c/step-01-load-brief.md	Yes
2	Ecosystem Check	steps-c/step-02-ecosystem-check.md	Conditional
2b	CCC Discover	steps-c/sub/step-02b-ccc-discover.md	Yes
3	Extract	steps-c/step-03-extract.md	No (confirm)
3b	Fetch Temporal	steps-c/sub/step-03b-fetch-temporal.md	Yes
3c	Fetch Docs	steps-c/sub/step-03c-fetch-docs.md	Yes
3d	Component Extraction	steps-c/step-03d-component-extraction.md	Conditional
4	Enrich	steps-c/step-04-enrich.md	Yes
5	Compile	steps-c/step-05-compile.md	Yes
6	Validate	steps-c/step-06-validate.md	Conditional
7	Generate Artifacts	steps-c/step-07-generate-artifacts.md	Yes
8	Report	steps-c/step-08-report.md	Yes
9	Workflow Health Check	steps-c/step-09-health-check.md	Yes

Sub-steps under steps-c/sub/ are conditional branches (CCC discovery, temporal/doc enrichment) kept out of the top-level step count so main-line steps 1–9 drive the workflow. Step 3d (Component Extraction) stays top-level as an alternative main step that replaces the standard extraction path when scope.type: "component-library".

Invocation Contract

Aspect	Detail
Inputs	brief_path (path to skill-brief.yaml) [required], --batch [optional]
Gates	step-02: Choice Gate [P] (if match)
Outputs	SKILL.md, context-snippet.md, metadata.json, provenance-map.json, evidence-report.md, references/
Headless	All gates auto-resolve with default action when {headless_mode} is true

On Activation

1. Load config from {project-root}/_bmad/skf/config.yaml and resolve:

   • output_folder, user_name, communication_language, document_output_language, sidecar_path, skills_output_folder, forge_data_folder

2. Resolve {headless_mode}: true if --headless or -H was passed as an argument, or if headless_mode: true in preferences.yaml. Default: false.

3. Load, read the full file, and then execute ./steps-c/step-01-load-brief.md to begin the workflow.
