description	Use when creating, upgrading, or packaging reusable skills and you need to choose between a leaf skill and a router family.

Skill Authoring

Use this family when you are building or revising reusable skill packages or reusable agent manifests for the template or another shared repo. It is maintainer-facing, not part of runtime delivery.

Core contract

• Route to exactly one child.
• Use create-skill for leaf skills or router families (it covers both; see its decision tree).
• Use create-agents for reusable agent manifests or small coding-focused agent teams.
• Keep the portable core first; add runtime-specific packaging only after the core works without vendor assumptions.
• When truth can be machine-checked, prefer code/schema/eval artifacts; see create-skill and create-agents.
• Router children should self-identify as nested children of the router family in their own SKILL.md.

Output

Return one of these forms:

• Route to skill-authoring/create-skill.
• Route to skill-authoring/create-agents.
• No family child fits; answer directly.

Add one sentence explaining why the selected child is the narrowest correct fit.
