What problem does it solve? Agent skills often fail to load or behave inconsistently across harnesses because of malformed frontmatter, vague descriptions, or harness-specific content baked into the skill body. This Skill provides a complete authoring procedure so new skills are discoverable, portable, and versioned correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Frontmatter contract: Enforces required fields (name, description, provides, version) with hard rules like name matching the directory and SemVer versioning. - Content structure template: Provides a proven skeleton (When to use, Workflow, Hard rules, Adaptation rules, Verification) with direct-voice style guidance. - Cross-harness portability: Explains how to keep SKILL.md canonical and delegate Cursor, Continue, Aider, and other adapters to a separate compatibility skill. - Use Case: A contributor opens a PR adding a new skill to a shared pack; use this Skill to review frontmatter validity, workflow testability, and the verification checklist before sign-off. ## Quick Start Use the skill-authoring skill to create a new portable agent skill for my repository with valid frontmatter and a verification checklist.
