SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Design or refactor skills by clearly separating deterministic steps from non-deterministic guidance, enabling repeatable automation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify deterministic steps and design small, single-purpose scripts under scripts/
  • Orchestrate the skill workflow in SKILL.md while keeping judgment tasks in prose
  • Improve reproducibility, testability, and maintainability of skills

Quick Start

Identify deterministic steps in your skill, move each into a small script under scripts/, and update SKILL.md to orchestrate those scripts while keeping non-deterministic decisions in prose.

Frequently Asked Questions about refactor-for-determinism

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I separate deterministic steps from non-deterministic guidance in skill workflows?▼

You can refactor skills for determinism by moving repeatable tasks into small scripts under scripts/ and orchestrating those scripts in SKILL.md while keeping non-deterministic judgment calls in prose.

What is the best way to automate repeatable tasks in SKILL.md workflows?▼

The best way to automate repeatable tasks in SKILL.md workflows is to identify deterministic steps and design small, single-purpose scripts for them. SKILL.md then orchestrates these scripts, leaving non-deterministic decisions as prose guidance.

How do I structure scripts and SKILL.md to improve skill reproducibility and maintainability?▼

Improve skill reproducibility and maintainability by structuring scripts/ to contain deterministic steps, using SKILL.md to orchestrate the workflow, and keeping non-deterministic decisions in prose with clear boundaries and error handling.

Can I refactor an existing skill to make its workflow more deterministic?▼

Yes, you can refactor an existing skill by applying this workflow during development or refactoring to formalize deterministic steps, moving them into scripts/ while leaving judgment tasks as prose in SKILL.md.

Does this refactoring approach require specific dependencies or components?▼

No, this refactoring approach requires no specific dependencies or components, applying to any Skill Unit containing a SKILL.md frontmatter with name and description and optional scripts/ references/ assets/ directories.
