skill-standards

To standardize skill development for cross-platform compatibility, apply a mandatory compatibility preface and platform-specific instruction blocks that maintain consistent functionality across Claude Code, OpenClaw, Gemini, and Codex.

Software standards for cross-platform skills require a compatibility preface, platform-specific instruction blocks for each supported AI coding assistant, and graceful degradation fallback instructions for external CLI tools not available on a given platform.

To add graceful degradation for missing external CLI tools, include fallback instructions within the skill definition that provide alternative operational paths, ensuring the skill maintains partial functionality even when platform-specific tools are absent.

Yes, your BigMac skill requires a mandatory compatibility preface to ensure all skills are checked for compatibility before platform-specific blocks are added as needed for the target execution environment.

Yes, you can use BigMac skill writing standards to edit existing skills by reviewing and updating the SKILL.md file to ensure it adheres to cross-platform compatibility rules and includes the mandatory formatting blocks.
