Skill & Command Generator

Generate well-structured skills or slash commands. Both are markdown files with YAML frontmatter—they share the same structure but differ in how they're triggered and described.

Phase 0: Understand Requirements

Parse $ARGUMENTS for type hint. If $ARGUMENTS is empty or insufficient, use AskUserQuestion to gather requirements — users are often unclear on what type of artifact they need or what the best design is.

Use AskUserQuestion to collect:

1. Primary objective — What should this do?
2. Trigger scenarios — When should it activate?
3. Inputs/outputs — What does it receive and produce?
4. Complexity — Simple, standard, or complex?
5. Execution needs — Isolated context? Delegated to specialized agent? Proceed to Phase 1 when at minimum Objective and Trigger Scenarios are established. Remaining dimensions can be resolved during generation.

Phase 1: Generate

Apply these principles throughout generation: use imperative voice and terse phrasing because every token in a generated skill body costs budget on every invocation, and Claude extrapolates well from precise nudges. Prefer instruction over example — state the rule with its reasoning so it generalizes to every input.
