bmb-encover-skill-authoring

What problem does it solve?

It standardizes how developers write, validate, and structure in-repo Hermes SKILL.md files so skills are discoverable, consistent, and reliably loadable.

Core Features & Use Cases

• In-repo SKILL authoring guidance: Documents where SKILL.md files should live and how to commit them correctly.
• Frontmatter validator requirements: Ensures required YAML fields exist and that length/format constraints are met (e.g., name and description presence and description size).
• Peer-matched structure conventions: Provides a recommended section layout (Overview, When to Use, Pitfalls, Verification Checklist) to keep skills usable.
• Workflow and verification checklist: Includes validation steps and common pitfalls (like leading whitespace before --- or expecting cached sessions to pick up new skills).

Quick Start

Use bmb-encover-skill-authoring to create a new in-repo skill by adding a properly formatted skills/<category>/<name>/SKILL.md with required frontmatter and a non-empty instruction body, then validate it before committing.
