SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jq, git, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually adding a new skill involves creating a directory, templating SKILL.md, bumping plugin versions, updating marketplace.json, and modifying README.md and CHANGELOG.md. This Skill automates these tedious, error-prone steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

Skill Scaffolding: Creates a new skill directory and SKILL.md from a template with standard sections.
Version Bumping: Automatically increments the plugin's minor version and syncs it to marketplace.json.
Metadata Synchronization: Updates README.md skill counts and adds a CHANGELOG.md entry.
Refinement & Validation: Invokes refine-skill-expression for content polishing and repo-preflight for consistency checks.
Use Case: When you've designed a new cognitive technique, use this Skill to codify it into a skill, ensuring all repository metadata is updated automatically and the skill is ready for use.

Quick Start

Add a new skill called 'decision-option-tradeoffs' to the 'thinkies' plugin, with the description 'Systematically compare trade-offs between different options'.
