FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a SKILL.md file automatically from a description?

You can generate a SKILL.md file automatically by providing a simple description of the desired functionality. The skill then invokes interactive prompts to gather scope and usage details, creating the file within your dotfiles repository.

What is the best way to define the scope of a new skill in a dotfiles repository?

Defining a new skill's scope is best handled through interactive prompting. The skill guides you through specifying the tasks it should perform, ensuring the generated SKILL.md file accurately reflects your intended functionality.

Can I refine a generated SKILL.md file after the initial creation?

You can refine a generated SKILL.md file after creation. The skill provides optional refinement capabilities by utilizing the prompt-engineer tool to apply additional instructions to your initial output.

Do I need the prompt-engineer tool to automate skill creation?

The prompt-engineer tool is needed specifically for optional refinement. The core skill creation process and SKILL.md generation operate independently, but prompt-engineer is required to further refine the output.

How does interactive prompting work when creating a new skill?

Interactive prompting works by invoking queries for scope and usage details during creation. It guides you through defining what tasks the skill performs before automatically generating the SKILL.md file.

What are the limitations of automating SKILL.md generation in a dotfiles repository?

Automated SKILL.md generation is expected to operate strictly within the dotfiles repository context. Complex scope definitions may still require manual adjustments or additional prompt-engineer refinement.
