description

A framework for authoring Umbraco skills in THIS marketplace: how to structure, scaffold, write, and audit a skill so it matches the house conventions. Use this whenever the user wants to start or build a new skill for the Umbraco marketplace, e.g. "make a new skill for X", "how should I structure this skill", "turn these docs into a skill", "scaffold a skill", or "get this skill ready to ship". Ends with a self-audit checklist, then hands off to `umbraco-skill-evaluator` for the eval loop — this skill covers authoring, not evaluation. SKIP: non-skill work, and general skill-building unrelated to this Umbraco marketplace (use the generic skill-creator for those).

Umbraco Skill Author

A framework, checklist, and guide for building Umbraco skills. Follow it to go from an idea to a shippable skill that matches the house conventions, then self-audit before handing off.

The shape of every skill: a thin SKILL.md that routes, detail in references/, code templates in assets/, deterministic helpers in scripts/, and objective assertions in evals/evals.json.

Golden-standard example: umbraco-sitemap is the current reference skill. When in doubt, open it and copy its shape.

How to use this

1. Build — walk references/authoring-steps.md: scope → scaffold → SKILL.md → references → assets → evals. Copy-paste skeletons are in templates/skill-template.md.
2. Prove it runs — if the skill ships assets/*.cs, add it to the dotnet test gate: references/runtime-validation.md.
