author-skill — write skills that trigger and teach
This is the meta skill: it authors and edits the other skills in the rsc catalog. A skill is two things bolted together — a description that fires at the right moment, and a body that makes the agent better once it fires. Most skills fail on the first. Treat them as two separate engineering problems with two separate quality bars.
Where the SDD chain (specify → plan → … → ship) builds product, author-skill builds the tools that build product. Use it whenever a skill is born or edited.
Not this skill — delegate: a product feature specced or planned → ../specify/SKILL.md, ../plan/SKILL.md. An autonomous agent or tool-calling loop → ../building-agents/SKILL.md. Generic project docs or a wiki article → the ../harness/SKILL.md 02-DOCS engine. Bootstrapping a workspace or profiling the user → ../init/SKILL.md.
Read 02-DOCS/wiki/harness/user-profile.md and work at the accompaniment dial it records; ../init/SKILL.md owns that dial and sets it. With no profile, default to non-technical framing and ask for the technical level and the dial before going deep — skill authoring is itself a technical act, so many users want more narration here than they do elsewhere.
