What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams create and maintain consistent, well-structured Agent Skills by providing a standardized template, clear requirements, and a reusable reference model. It reduces onboarding time and promotes best practices when authoring or reviewing skills.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Frontmatter scaffolding: Ensures name and description are defined and validated, with optional metadata preserved.
- Folder structure guidance: Recommends the standard skill layout (SKILL.md, scripts/, references/, assets/) and progressive disclosure approach.
- Quality assurance references: Provides checklists and reference files to verify naming, content, and consistency during creation or review.
- Use Case: A developer creates a new skill and uses this guide to ensure naming, structure, and documentation follow the project-wide conventions.
Quick Start
Create a new skill directory named authoring-skills, add a SKILL.md frontmatter with name and description, and begin the body with concise, policy-aligned guidance for future skill authors.
