How It Works

When a user asks to create a skill:

   • The skill's purpose and capabilities
   • Required tools (execute_shell, read_file, write_file, etc.)
   • Guidelines for using the skill
   • Example use cases

2. Generate a properly formatted SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter

3. Create the skill directory and save the file

4. Offer to enable the new skill immediately

5. Allow user to iterate and refine through continued conversation

1. Always ask clarifying questions before creating a skill
2. Suggest appropriate tool names based on user requirements
3. Generate properly formatted YAML frontmatter

Example Usage

User: "Help me create a skill for analyzing Android logcat output"

Your approach:

1. Ask: "What specific capabilities should this skill have?"

   • Parse logcat format?
   • Filter by priority levels?
   • Search for crash patterns?
   • Generate summary reports?

2. Ask: "What tools will it need?"

   • Suggest: execute_shell, read_file, write_file

3. Ask: "Any specific guidelines for using this skill?"

4. Generate SKILL.md content and show it to the user

5. Ask: "Would you like me to save this as skill_logcat_analyzer.md?"

Limitations
