What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides templates and guidance to create and update AI Agent Skills, reducing boilerplate and ensuring consistent frontmatter and structure.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Template-driven SKILL.md: Automatically provides a valid frontmatter with name and description and a ready-to-edit Markdown body.
- Resource scaffolding: Creates optional folders for scripts/, references/, and assets/ to support deterministic tasks, documentation, and templates.
- Lifecycle tooling: Integrates with init_skill.py, quick_validate.py, and package_skill.py to initialize, validate, and package skills.
- Use case: A team wants to standardize all new skills across projects; this guide helps them generate consistent skeletons for onboarding.
Quick Start
Use the skill creation workflow to initialize a new skill skeleton:
python scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <output-directory> [--resources scripts,references,assets] [--examples]
- Replace <skill-name> with the slugified name (e.g., "nda-reviewer"). Use --resources to add directories and optionally --examples to pre-create sample files.
