What problem does it solve? Writing a new DefProd agent skill from scratch requires knowing the expected SKILL.md frontmatter format, the phased workflow structure, and cross-agent compatibility conventions. This template gives contributors a ready-made skeleton so new skills follow the same structure as official DefProd skills. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Frontmatter scaffold: Pre-filled YAML frontmatter with name, description, and allowed-tools entries showing the mcp__<server>__<tool> permission format used by Claude Code. - Phased workflow structure: Numbered phases (Discovery, custom phases, Summary) with guidance comments on confirmation gates, action phases, and analysis phases. - Config documentation pattern: A table section for documenting optional keys from .defprod/defprod.json that the skill consumes. - Use Case: A contributor wants to publish a community skill for the DefProd ecosystem. They copy this template, replace the {{placeholders}} with their skill's logic, and produce a SKILL.md that installs and behaves consistently with official skills. ## Quick Start Copy the contrib/TEMPLATE directory, rename it to your skill name, and fill in every {{placeholder}} in SKILL.md with your skill's workflow and rules.
