Writing for agents
Owns: writing clarity for agent-consumed documents.
This is a writing reference. skill-creator remains the scaffold owner. This skill does not create package structure,
choose installation locations, or register a skill. When the
document is a skill, use SKILL-MECHANICS.md for invocation and
frontmatter choices, then return package validation to skill-creator.
Context pointers
A Context pointer names material outside the current context and states when to load it.
A skill description and an AGENTS.md link are both pointers. Sharpen the pointer before
inlining its target.
- Front-load the term that should trigger retrieval.
- Give each distinct branch one trigger; collapse synonymous restatements.
- Name what the target contains and the condition for reaching it.
- Remove identity already obvious from the target or surrounding document.
