skill-authoring-workflow

To turn rough notes into a publish-ready SKILL.md file, use a guided wizard to generate a compliant draft, then apply manual edits and preflight validation to ensure metadata integrity. This workflow handles drafting, tightening, and integration for repository standards.

Frontmatter validation for skill authoring requires verifying the presence and correctness of name, description, intent, and type fields. This ensures the SKILL.md manifest meets repository compliance rules before integration.

To check for duplicate skills and cross-reference errors, run preflight checks during the skill authoring workflow. This validation phase detects duplicates, verifies the skill type, and ensures all cross-references are accurate before packaging.

Yes, you can update existing repository skills from workshop outputs by applying this workflow to both creating and updating tasks. It transforms workshop outputs and draft prompts into compliant manifests while updating the README catalog.

A compliant skill manifest requires a specific section order compliance evaluated during the validation phase. The phase-driven process ensures end-to-end consistency by checking section sequencing, metadata integrity, and cross-references before final integration.
