High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Start with YAML frontmatter containing name and description, then write a concise body with overview, when-to-use triggers, core patterns, and common mistakes. Test the skill with pressure scenarios before deploying to verify agents actually comply.
Run baseline pressure scenarios with subagents without the skill to document failures verbatim, then write the skill addressing those failures and re-test. Combine three or more pressures like time limits, sunk cost, and authority for realistic testing.
Start with "Use when..." followed by specific triggering conditions and symptoms, written in third person. Never summarize the skill's workflow in the description, because agents may follow the summary instead of reading the full skill.
Agents rationalize rule violations when facing time pressure, sunk costs, or authority figures. Counter this with explicit negations of specific excuses, rationalization tables, red flag lists, and foundational principles like "violating the letter is violating the spirit."
Skip skill creation for one-off solutions, project-specific conventions, well-documented standard practices, and mechanical constraints that can be enforced with validation or regex instead of documentation.
