SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the construction of initial skill implementations from design artifacts after spec generation, reducing manual coding time and ensuring consistent scaffolding.

Core Features & Use Cases

Identifies in-scope skills from studio/changes/status.json and skill-map.md.
Uses skill-creator to flesh out skeletons into working drafts suitable for testing with real inputs.
Supports both create and modify iterations, guiding users through the build workflow and integration with validation steps.

Quick Start

Confirm the build stage and let the system generate initial skill implementations using skill-creator.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate building initial skill implementations from design specs?▼

You can automate skill implementation by reading design artifacts from the studio changes workflow, specifically studio/changes/status.json and skill-map.md. The build process identifies in-scope skills and uses the skill-creator to flesh out working draft skeletons for testing.

What files do I need to generate skill skeletons from specs?▼

Generating skill skeletons requires a studio directory containing status.json in studio/changes, a skill-map.md file to determine in-scope skills, a target_dir for implementations, and access to the internal skill-creator capability.

Does the skill build workflow support modifying existing skills or only creating new ones?▼

The skill build workflow supports both create and modify iterations. It reads status.json to determine the iteration type and uses skill-creator to flesh out skeletons into working drafts suitable for both new and modified skill implementations.

How do I scaffold working skill drafts from a status.json file?▼

Scaffolding working drafts from status.json involves confirming the build stage, letting the system identify in-scope skills from the file and skill-map.md, then using skill-creator to generate initial implementations in the target directory for testing with real inputs.

Can I use this automated build process without a studio directory structure?▼

No, this automated build process requires a studio directory structure with status.json in studio/changes and a skill-map.md file. Without these design artifacts, the system cannot determine in-scope skills or generate initial implementations.

What is the best way to integrate validation steps after auto-building skill implementations?▼

The best way to integrate validation is to follow the build workflow after skill-creator generates initial implementations. The system guides users through the build process and integration with validation steps to ensure the working drafts function correctly with real inputs.
