What problem does it solve? Writing a SKILL.md that passes the Nyxora agent validator and matches peer conventions is error-prone: frontmatter must start at byte zero, descriptions have length caps, and the wrong creation tool writes to the wrong directory. This Skill encodes the exact validator rules, size limits, and peer-matched structure so new in-repo skills validate on the first commit. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Validator-Accurate Rules: Documents the hard requirements from skill_manager_tool.py, including the 1024-character description cap, 100,000-character file limit, and frontmatter parsing constraints. - Peer-Matched Structure Template: Provides the standard section layout (Overview, When to Use, Common Pitfalls, Verification Checklist) used by every skill under skills/software-development/. - Writing Quality Principles: Eight checks for process predictability, completion criteria, duplication pruning, and avoiding no-op prose. - Use Case: You need to commit a new reusable workflow skill into the repo. Follow the workflow to survey peers, draft with write_file, validate the YAML frontmatter locally, and commit on the active branch. ## Quick Start Create a new in-repo skill named deploy-checklist under the devops category following the nyxora-agent-skill-authoring conventions and validate its frontmatter.
