What problem does it solve? Agents and users frequently author structured documents (RFCs, ADRs, PRDs, runbooks, PR descriptions, tickets) from scratch, producing inconsistent formats and missing sections. This Skill acts as a mandatory gate that identifies the content type, checks for an existing template, forges one via research if missing, and returns it with a hard-refusal directive so every artifact follows a canonical structure. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Identify and route: Researches the user's intent to determine content-type and variant slugs, then checks docs/templates/<content-type>/<variant>/ for an existing template. - Template forging: When no template exists, it researches canonical structures from official references and corroborating sources, then writes template.md, research.md, and a variant index README.md. - Enforcement directive: Returns an ASCII-bounded directive requiring the caller to author content into the template before any destination action (file write, gh pr create, Jira ticket, Slack post). - Use Case: Before running gh pr create for an auth refactor, the agent invokes this Skill, receives the PR-description template plus directive, fills it in, and only then creates the PR. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to use content-template-gateway before writing a runbook for restarting the API, and follow the returned template directive.
