Skill Creator

When the user asks to create a new skill, follow this workflow:

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Ask the user:

• Name: short, kebab-case identifier (e.g., write-tests, deploy-aws)
• Description: one-line summary of what the skill does
• Tags: comma-separated categories
• Guidance: what instructions should the agent follow when this skill is activated?

If the user provides enough info upfront, skip the questions and proceed.

Step 2: Generate SKILL.md

Create the file at ~/.bandry/skills/<name>/SKILL.md with this structure:

---
name: <name>
description: <description>
tags: <tags>
---

# <Title>

<Guidance content organized into clear sections>

Step 3: Write the File

Use the exec tool to create the directory and write the file:

mkdir -p ~/.bandry/skills/<name>
cat > ~/.bandry/skills/<name>/SKILL.md << 'SKILL_EOF'
<generated content>
SKILL_EOF

Step 4: Confirm

Tell the user the skill was created and that it will be available on the next chat session (skills are cached per session).

Guidelines for Good Skills

• Keep instructions actionable and specific
• Use numbered steps for workflows
• Include examples where helpful
• Define output format if the skill produces structured results
• Avoid vague instructions like "be helpful" — be concrete
