SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents the creation of malformed or non-conformant skill units by enforcing strict adherence to project authoring standards and prose conventions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized Drafting: Automatically pulls from project-specific or global standards to ensure new skills are structured correctly.
  • Validation & Confirmation: Prevents silent failures by requiring user confirmation of the skill name and content before writing to the filesystem.
  • Use Case: When you need to add a new capability to your AI agent, use this skill to ensure the new directory, frontmatter, and documentation meet the repository's architectural requirements.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to create a new skill named my-new-skill based on the provided requirements.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate scaffolding for new agent skills in Claude Code?

To standardize skill creation, this skill automates the generation of compliant skill unit directories and SKILL.md files. It enforces mandatory authoring standards and prose conventions to prevent malformed capabilities.

Why do my custom agent skills fail validation or structural integrity checks?

Custom agent skills fail validation when they do not adhere to project authoring standards and prose conventions. Validating frontmatter and structural integrity against the project's standards directory prevents silent failures and non-conformant units.

What's the best way to enforce authoring standards when generating new AI capabilities?

The best way to enforce authoring standards is by pulling from project-specific or global standards during skill generation. This ensures new directories, frontmatter, and documentation meet the repository's architectural requirements automatically.

Do I need a specific directory structure to create compliant SKILL.md files?

Yes, creating compliant SKILL.md files requires access to the project's standards directory. This access is necessary to validate frontmatter and structural integrity before writing the new skill files to the filesystem.

Can I review generated skill content before it is written to the filesystem?

Yes, the skill creation workflow requires user confirmation of the skill name and content before writing to the filesystem. This validation step prevents silent failures and ensures the drafted capability meets expectations.
