Skill Creator
Design or refactor skills so they are small, triggerable, and mechanically valid.
Workflow
- Define the exact user requests that should trigger the skill.
- Keep
SKILL.md short and put deep detail in references/.
- Add only the scripts, assets, or references that make execution materially more reliable.
- Generate
agents/openai.yaml and validate before packaging.
Scripts
scripts/init_skill.py initializes a new skill with optional resource folders and agents/openai.yaml.scripts/generate_openai_yaml.py writes agents/openai.yaml from explicit interface values.scripts/quick_validate.py enforces strict frontmatter, directory naming, agent metadata, and script dependency rules.scripts/package_skill.py validates first, then zips the skill for distribution.
Rules
- Keep frontmatter to
name and description only.
- Make
description do the trigger work: what the skill does and when to use it.
- Match the folder name exactly to
name.
- Prefer one focused workflow over a kitchen-sink skill.
- Remove placeholder files and generic boilerplate before publishing.
