High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Create a directory containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter defining name and description, followed by Markdown instructions. Follow a workflow of discovery, prior-art research, design, implementation, and validation to ensure quality.
The description should be written in third person, stay under 1024 characters, and include both what the skill does and when to use it. Include concrete trigger terms so the agent can match user requests to the skill.
Keep the main SKILL.md under 500 lines for best performance. Move detailed references, examples, and templates into separate files like reference.md that the agent reads only when needed, using progressive disclosure.
Avoid creating a skill when an existing one already covers the capability, when the content is thin enough for a memory or rule, or when prior-art research shows heavy overlap. Route the decision through a discovery gate before building.
Common anti-patterns include vague names like helper or utils, Windows-style paths, time-sensitive information, inconsistent terminology, too many tool options, and relative paths referencing other skills instead of use_skill declarations.
