SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams audit a skill for project-specific references, surface those references for decision-making, and generalize the skill for public release while ensuring frontmatter quality. It is read-only until the user approves changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Surface internal names, hard-coded paths, and stack assumptions embedded in a skill.
Provide a structured Phase 1 (Audit), Phase 2 (Generalize), and Phase 3 (Improve Frontmatter) workflow.
Preserve safety by gating changes behind explicit approvals and avoiding rewriting skill logic.

Quick Start

Audit the skill's SKILL.md to identify project-specific references and prepare for user approvals.

FAQPage Schema

How do I audit a skill for project-specific references before public release?▼

The generalization process follows three phases: Phase 1 audits project-specific references, Phase 2 generalizes the skill, and Phase 3 improves frontmatter. This structured workflow isolates internal assumptions and prepares the skill for public use safely.

How do I generalize internal naming and guardrails in a skill for public use?▼

No, the skill is read-only until you explicitly approve changes. It gates modifications behind explicit approvals to preserve safety, avoiding rewriting skill logic while preparing generalization and frontmatter improvement workflows.

Does the skill generalization workflow modify skill logic automatically?▼

Auditing frontmatter quality ensures the skill's metadata meets public release standards. The Phase 3 improvement workflow updates frontmatter to align with generalized content, providing a reproducible process for final approvals.

What is the best way to surface hard-coded paths and stack assumptions in a skill?▼

Verification steps guard against residual references by checking the generalized skill for any remaining project-specific names or paths. This provides a clear, reproducible process that ensures the skill is fully generalized before final approvals.
