SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables the agent to autonomously generate, update, and version its own Skill definitions so new capabilities can be added or improved without manual repository edits.

Core Features & Use Cases

Create and Persist Skills: Generate complete SKILL.md files with required YAML frontmatter and documentation, place them under .agents/skills/<skill-name>/, and guide persistence workflows.
Modify and Version: Read existing skills, apply updates, increment semantic versions, and verify saved changes.
Use Case: Rapidly prototype a new integration skill on the VPS, test it immediately, and then persist it to the shared vault and central repo for reuse.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to create a new skill named backup-postgres that uses vps_execute_command and file_operations, includes a YAML frontmatter with name and description, and save it to .agents/skills/backup-postgres/SKILL.md.
