gengar-skill-authoring

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents malformed or non-discoverable SKILL.md files by specifying the exact validator requirements, conventions, and repository placement rules for authoring in-repo skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

• In-repo SKILL.md authoring guidance: Covers where to create or edit SKILL.md under skills/<category>/<name>/ and how it differs from user-local skills.
• Frontmatter and structure constraints: Explains required YAML fields, formatting rules, description length limits, and body non-emptiness requirements.
• Quality and consistency conventions: Recommends peer-matched sections, typical sizing targets, and verification steps to ensure the skill is ready for commit and discovery.

Quick Start

Use this skill to write a new in-repo SKILL.md at skills/software-development/<your-skill-name>/SKILL.md that starts with valid YAML frontmatter containing name and description.
