Where Skills Go
User-editable skills belong in:
skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
Example:
skills/triage-issues/SKILL.md
Built-in skills are exposed at:
/.open_strix_builtin_skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
Treat built-in skills as read-only.
Critical Rule: Trigger Description
The YAML frontmatter description is the trigger signal. It must make it obvious
when the skill should be used.
Every skill description should include:
- what the skill does
- exact "when to use" triggers
- what it should not be used for
Bad description:
Good description:
Create and update release notes from git history. Use when the user asks for changelogs, release summaries, or version notes. Do not use for code changes.
Authoring Checklist
- Write frontmatter with
name and a high-signal description.
- Add concise execution steps in the SKILL body.
- Include concrete paths/commands the agent should run.
- Keep scope narrow; split broad domains into multiple skills.
- Prefer deterministic instructions over generic advice.
