SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing a new AI agent skill that triggers reliably, follows collection conventions, and survives real-world use requires re-deriving naming rules, frontmatter structure, and quality criteria every time. This Skill turns a rough idea into a lean, conventions-compliant SKILL.md through a guided interview, drafting, and live-testing workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided authoring procedure: Interviews for intent and trigger phrasings, settles visibility (internal vs public) and provenance, proposes on-brand kit-style names, then drafts a compliant SKILL.md. - Inlined conventions and quality bar: Ships frontmatter templates, information-hierarchy rules, completion criteria, prose register guidance, and a portability checklist so public skills stand alone when installed. - Live test loop and hand-off: Directs dev-linking the draft skill into a fresh agent session, testing trigger and near-miss phrasings, pruning no-op instructions, then reporting what changed and the next move. - Use Case: You want a skill that drafts changelog entries. Invoke the skill, answer the intent questions, pick a proposed name like changelogkit, review the drafted SKILL.md, live-test it in a fresh session, and commit the result. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to help you create a new skill for a task you have in mind, for example by saying "help me make a skill for writing release notes".

Frequently Asked Questions about skillkit

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new AI agent skill from scratch?▼

Invoke the skill with a request like "help me make a skill for X". It interviews you for intent and trigger phrasings, proposes names, drafts a conventions-compliant SKILL.md, and walks you through live testing before you commit.

What makes a good SKILL.md description for triggering?▼

Start with what the skill does, then add a plain-English "Use when" clause naming the phrasings that should fire it. Cover one trigger per branch or mode, prune synonyms, and front-load the leading functional word in both name and description.

Should I make a new skill or add a mode to an existing one?▼

A new skill earns its directory when a person deliberately chooses it at a distinct moment. When the agent should make the choice from context instead, add a mode inside an existing skill, since a mode costs one branch while a new skill costs a permanent index entry.

What is the difference between internal and public skills?▼

Internal skills are repo-only maintenance skills that may reference the host repo's tooling and are stamped metadata.internal: true. Public skills must be self-contained, machine-agnostic, and portable since only their own directory travels when installed.

How do I test a new skill before publishing it?▼

Dev-link or symlink the skill into your agent's skills directory, then open a fresh session since skill lists load at startup. Fire varied phrasings that should trigger it plus near-misses that should not, and confirm the run follows the drafted procedure end to end.
