SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the manual, repetitive work of turning plugin design artifacts into runnable skill implementations by generating working first drafts in the target plugin directory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spec-to-implementation bootstrapping: Builds initial skill implementations after design/spec generation has produced skeletons, using internal skill construction capabilities.
  • Scoped build control for create/modify flows: For create, builds every skill listed in the plugin status; for modify, rebuilds only the in-scope skills to avoid unintended changes.
  • Iteration-ready scaffolding: Produces “scaffolding with substance” that is testable but explicitly not production-polished, designed for follow-up refinement via skill-creator and later validation.

Quick Start

After confirming the build stage, ask the system to run build-skills to generate initial implementations for the skills in your plugin target directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate skill implementations from a spec automatically?

To generate skill implementations from a spec, this tool builds initial first-draft code in a target plugin directory after spec generation and skeleton creation. It reads studio change workspaces and applies internal skill-creator capabilities to scaffold working drafts.

What is plugin scaffolding for skill creation?

Plugin scaffolding produces iteration-ready code with substance that is testable but not production-polished. It creates initial skill implementations designed for follow-up refinement via skill-creator and later validation.

How do I control which skills are built during a workspace build?

Workspace build control uses status.json to define scope. For create iterations, it builds every skill listed; for modify iterations, it rebuilds only in-scope skills to avoid unintended changes to existing implementations.

Do I need to generate skeletons before building skills?

Yes, you need spec generation and skeleton creation beforehand. The building phase requires a pre-check to confirm these stages are complete before invoking the internal skill-creator per skill.

How does status tracking work during skill generation?

Status tracking updates status.json to reflect draft, building, or built outcomes. It monitors each skill during generation and updates SKILL.md files in place only when modifications are needed.

Is the generated first-draft code ready for production?

No, the generated first-draft code is explicitly not production-polished. It produces scaffolding with substance that is testable and designed for follow-up refinement via skill-creator and later validation.
