SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many useful developer and workspace processes remain ad-hoc and are lost or repeated manually; this Skill guides users to formalize those processes as reusable SKILL.md files so they can be reliably reinvoked. It reduces knowledge loss and speeds repetitive operational tasks by turning a described workflow into a discoverable, triggerable skill.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided interview to capture the trigger, slug, inputs, workflow steps, outputs, and anti-patterns for a new skill.
  • Enforces naming and frontmatter conventions (custom- prefix, name and description fields) and explains how to add optional helper scripts or templates.
  • Verification steps and best-practice checks to avoid duplicate skills, one-off tasks, or unsafe project-specific values.
  • Use case: a developer asks to "create a daily QA checklist" and receives a validated custom-skill scaffold with a clear trigger, workflow, and output path.

Quick Start

Create a custom skill by choosing a short kebab-case slug, writing a one-line description with trigger phrases, listing the required inputs and outputs, and outlining the step-by-step workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a reusable workflow as a custom skill file?

To create a reusable workflow, this skill formalizes your ad-hoc processes into a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter, a custom- slug folder, explicit inputs, outputs, and step-by-step instructions.

What do I need to include in a SKILL.md frontmatter to automate a workflow?

A SKILL.md frontmatter requires a name and description to automate a workflow, and the file must be placed in a folder using the custom-{slug} naming convention alongside optional helper scripts or templates.

When should I formalize a repeatable workflow into a triggerable skill?

You should formalize a repeatable workflow into a triggerable skill when you want to reduce knowledge loss, speed up repetitive operational tasks, and make developer processes reliably reinvokable by a single command.

How does the guided interview process work for generating new devtools skills?

The guided interview process for generating new devtools skills captures the trigger, slug, inputs, workflow steps, outputs, and anti-patterns, followed by verification checks to prevent duplicate skills or unsafe project-specific values.

Can I add helper scripts and templates to my custom skill directory?

Yes, you can add helper scripts or templates to your custom skill directory by placing them adjacent to the SKILL.md file, allowing the validated custom-skill scaffold to execute more complex automated operations.

What validation checks prevent duplicate skills or one-off tasks during skill creation?

Verification steps and best-practice checks during skill creation prevent duplicate skills, one-off tasks, or unsafe project-specific values by ensuring the workflow is genuinely repeatable and follows naming conventions.
