What problem does it solve?

Guidelines and patterns for authoring AI agent skills in this repository, ensuring consistency, discoverability, and maintainability for both external users and internal maintainers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standard frontmatter and navigation hub conventions to enable automated discovery and validation.
  • Clear guidance on skill locations (skills/ and .github/skills/), and handling of optional resources (scripts/, references/, assets/).
  • Patterns for simple, complex, and consolidated skills, including reference-file strategies and the hub+reference workflow.
  • Practical steps for registering new skills, updating references, and refactoring when skills grow large.

Quick Start

Review the agent-skills-writing SKILL.md and apply the consolidated vs standalone patterns when creating or updating a skill.
