skill-reinterpreter

To rebuild an Agent Skill while preserving intent, supply the source skill path, a new folder name under skills/, and confirm source deletion. The skill rewrites every supported file into the new folder and deletes the original only after successful validation.

The safest way to replace an Agent Skill uses a preflight safety gate to validate a fully rewritten clone in a new skills/ folder. The source skill is deleted only after the replacement passes validation, ensuring no workflow disruption.

To refresh skill architecture with current best practices, trigger a reinterpretation workflow that regenerates frontmatter, supporting files, and scripts into a distinct, improved clone. The rebuilt skill maintains original outcomes while applying modern structural design.

Yes, you can clone and rewrite supporting skill files without losing data because the tool regenerates references, scripts, and assets in a fully rewritten form within a new folder. The original files remain intact until the new version passes validation checks.

The skill rewriting process does not require manual deletion because the workflow automatically removes the source folder only after the rebuilt clone passes validation. You must explicitly confirm source deletion during the initial setup to authorize this final step.

A limitation of rebuilding a skill from scratch is that the workflow requires an explicit confirmation to delete the source folder. Additionally, the replacement only proceeds if the newly generated files pass the enforced preflight safety gate and validation checks.
