Skill Builder — Scaffold & Generate

Process

Step 1: Gather Inputs

Determine what we're building from:

• Plan document: Output from /skill-forge plan (preferred)
• Description: Natural language description of the skill
• Existing skill: Path to a skill to use as foundation

If no plan exists, run a quick planning pass (ask 3 key questions):

1. What does the skill do? (1-2 sentences)
2. What commands should it have? (list)
3. Does it need scripts or external tools? (yes/no)

Step 2: Generate Frontmatter

The most critical step. The description field determines activation.
