Activation Contract

Create a skill when:

• A pattern is used repeatedly and AI needs guidance
• Project-specific conventions differ from generic best practices
• Complex workflows need step-by-step instructions
• Decision trees help AI choose the right approach

Do not create a skill when the pattern is trivial, one-off, or better served by normal documentation.

Hard Rules

• When working in this repo, first follow docs/skill-style-guide.md as the normative source before creating or updating skills.
• For installed global skills, use references/skill-style-guide.md as the bundled local copy of that guide when docs/skill-style-guide.md is unavailable.
• If neither guide is available, use the compact inline rules below.
• A skill is a runtime instruction contract for an LLM, not human documentation.
• Do not add a Keywords section; preserve essential trigger words in description.
• References must point to local files.
• Keep the skill body concise: target 180–450 tokens, recommended max 700, hard max 1000.
