SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Creating a new Agent Skill from scratch often produces inconsistent folders with missing frontmatter, placeholder content, and no validation, making skills hard to discover and unreliable to ship. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Convention-based scaffolding: Generates a complete skill folder (SKILL.md with frontmatter, quality bar, staged workflow, production checklist) using a category-aware pattern library or by cloning an existing sibling skill via --from-template. - Automated audit harness: audit-scaffold.mjs checks frontmatter, rail enforceability, script completeness, template depth, examples, and docs wiring, then a fresh scaffold-auditor subagent signs PASS or FIX NEEDED. - Docs wiring automation: auto-docs.mjs inserts the new skill into README, USAGE, prompt-examples, and install files while keeping skill counts consistent. - Use Case: A maintainer wants to add a podcast-to-shorts skill to the repo; they run scaffold-skill.mjs with a name and description, fill the placeholders, wire the docs, and pass the audit gate before shipping. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to scaffold a new skill named podcast-to-shorts with a one-line description, two scripts, and one worked example, then run the audit harness.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new Agent Skill folder?

Run scaffold-skill.mjs with --name in kebab-case and --desc describing the skill, optionally adding --scripts, --templates, and --example flags. The script generates SKILL.md, branded Node scripts, template docs, and an examples folder following the repo contract.

What should a SKILL.md file contain for agent skills?

A SKILL.md needs YAML frontmatter with name and description, a quality bar table with measurable rails, a when-to-use trigger section, a numbered multi-stage workflow ending in an audit stage, and a production checklist. The description should be rich since agents match against it.

How do I validate a scaffolded skill before shipping?

Run audit-scaffold.mjs with --pack pointing at the skill folder and --docs to check repo wiring; it exits 1 on any FAIL. Then spawn a fresh scaffold-auditor subagent to complete the worthiness scorecard and sign PASS or FIX NEEDED.

Can I clone an existing skill as a template for a new one?

Yes, pass --from-template with a sibling skill name to scaffold-skill.mjs. It copies the source skill's scripts, templates, quality bar rails, and workflow structure, adapting names to the new skill, which works best when structures match 80% or more.

Why does the scaffold audit fail on placeholder content?

The audit harness checks for {{PLACEHOLDER}} markers, TODO stubs, and thin templates or examples under word-count thresholds. Every generated file must contain real logic and reference content before the auditor subagent will sign PASS.
