SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It standardizes how skills are authored and discovered in the HelloAGENTS workflow layer, so AI coding CLIs know when to auto-activate quality skills and when to require explicit user invocation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Skill Format Specification: Defines skills as Markdown files with YAML frontmatter requiring name and description fields.
  • Activation Policy Control: Uses policy.allow_implicit_invocation to distinguish auto-activated quality skills from explicitly invoked commands.
  • Use Case: When authoring a new quality skill for Claude Code or Cursor, follow this spec so the skill is discovered by metadata and auto-activated only when relevant to the task.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to show the HelloAGENTS skill system rules for frontmatter fields and invocation policies before writing a new skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a skill for HelloAGENTS?

Create a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter containing a name and description field. The body holds the operational instructions, and skills are loaded on demand rather than preloaded.

What frontmatter fields are required in a HelloAGENTS skill?

The name and description fields are mandatory. The description is used by the metadata layer to judge relevance, and policy.allow_implicit_invocation optionally controls whether the skill can auto-activate.

What is the difference between hello-* skills and commands in HelloAGENTS?

hello-* skills are quality skills that auto-activate based on the task, while commands/* skills must set allow_implicit_invocation to false and are only triggered explicitly by the user via the ~command syntax.

Does HelloAGENTS preload all skills at startup?

No. Skills are loaded on demand according to task relevance. Only the checklist-driven quality gate loads automatically with each conversation.

When should I set allow_implicit_invocation to false?

Set it to false for command-type skills that should only run when the user explicitly invokes them. Quality skills can omit it since the default is true, allowing automatic task-based activation.
