writing-kit-skills

A kit skill makes execution predictable through branches, evidence, and refusal boundaries.

Zero attribution: never add or leave co-author, AI, or tool attribution in commits, PRs, issues, docs, settings, or comments. State this rule explicitly in every generated or updated agent-facing Markdown/settings file.

The skeleton

Use this order; omit unneeded sections:

1. Opener — output and distinguishing boundary; do not repeat the router.
2. Inputs — required facts and what blocks without them.
3. Rules — binding constraints; pair prohibitions with the permitted action.
4. Process / Workflow / Modes — ordered actions with observable step endings.
5. Artifact — skeleton and at most three sample rows; disclose full examples.
6. Output — chat shape, caps, and stopping point.
7. Completion criteria — evidence checks: read-back, paths, commands, or status; not restated rules.
