SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables consistent, scalable creation and refinement of Opencode Skills by enforcing a clean structure (router or simple SKILL.md), inline essential principles, and a progressive disclosure approach that separates workflows, references, templates, and scripts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establishes a router pattern with intake and routing in SKILL.md for multi-step tasks
  • Provides guidance on adding workflows, references, templates, and scripts
  • Includes built-in auditing, verification, and upgrade workflows to maintain quality
  • Demonstrates progressive disclosure to keep SKILL.md under 500 lines while expanding knowledge in references
  • Enables reuse of knowledge through references and templates across multiple skills

Quick Start

Ask me to create a new agent skill or audit an existing one, and I will outline the structure and start drafting SKILL.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about create-agent-skills

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure an Opencode skill with YAML frontmatter and XML?▼

To structure an Opencode skill, define metadata in YAML frontmatter and write the processing logic in a pure XML body within a SKILL.md file. This enforces a clean separation of configuration and instructions for consistent execution.

When do I need a router pattern for prompt engineering workflows?▼

You need a router pattern for prompt engineering workflows when a single skill must handle multiple intents. SKILL.md manages intake and routing, directing inputs to specific subdirectories for workflows, references, templates, or scripts.

How do I keep SKILL.md under 500 lines while expanding agent knowledge?▼

Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines by applying progressive disclosure: inline only essential principles and route complex logic to optional subdirectories. Expand detailed agent knowledge through separate references and templates.

Can I reuse references and templates across multiple Opencode skills?▼

Yes, you can reuse references and templates across multiple Opencode skills. Structuring shared knowledge in external subdirectories allows different SKILL.md files to import and execute the same standardized instructions.

How do I audit an existing Opencode skill and upgrade it to a router pattern?▼

Audit an existing Opencode skill by verifying its YAML frontmatter and XML body structure. To upgrade to a router pattern, refactor the single SKILL.md to handle intake and route multiple intents to respective subdirectories.
