Skill Creator

When to use this skill

• The user asks to create a new skill.
• The user asks to migrate or repair a skill that fails npm run validate:skills.
• A skill needs cleanup to match the Agent Skills specification.

When not to use this skill

• The request is only to execute an existing skill.
• The request is unrelated to skill authoring or maintenance.

Required output standard

1. Skill folder name must be lowercase and hyphenated.
2. SKILL.md must begin with YAML frontmatter delimited by ---.
3. Frontmatter must include:
   • name: exactly matches the folder name.
   • description: concise and specific.
4. Only use supported frontmatter keys:
   • name
   • description
   • license
   • compatibility
   • metadata (string key/value map only)
   • allowed-tools
5. If legacy fields exist (slug, summary, version, author, etc.), migrate them into metadata as strings.

Creation workflow

1. Choose a canonical folder path under skills/runtime/<skill-name>/.
2. Write SKILL.md with valid frontmatter and core instructions.
3. Add optional scripts/, references/, or assets/ only when needed.
4. Run npm run validate:skills.
5. If validation fails, fix the skill before returning.

Update workflow

1. Preserve existing intent and body instructions.
2. Normalize frontmatter to supported keys.
3. Ensure name matches folder exactly.
4. Re-run npm run validate:skills.
