SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a guided blueprint for creating and updating Gemini CLI skills, enabling teams to build self-contained modules that extend the agent's capabilities with standardized frontmatter, guidance bodies, and reusable resource folders (scripts, references, assets).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scaffold and validate new skills with a consistent structure (SKILL.md frontmatter + Markdown body + optional bundled resources).
  • Support for iterative skill design, packaging, and distribution within Gemini CLI ecosystems.
  • Clear separation of procedural content from references and assets to keep SKILL.md lean while enabling rich, reusable workflows.

Quick Start

Initialize a new skill with the skill-creator to scaffold the directory, frontmatter, and example resources, then customize for your domain.
