Writing Khuym Skills

If .khuym/onboarding.json is missing or stale for the current repo, stop and invoke khuym:using-khuym before continuing.

Overview

Skills are code. They have bugs. Test them before deploying.

This is the TDD-for-skills methodology adapted from Superpowers (N=28,000 scale testing confirms persuasion-optimized skills produce 3-4× better agent compliance than plain instructions).

THE IRON LAW: NO SKILL WITHOUT A FAILING TEST FIRST. Write skill before testing? Delete it. Start over. No exceptions — not for "simple additions," not for "just a section," not for "reference only."

When to Use

Use this skill when you are about to:

  • Create any new skill for the khuym ecosystem
  • Edit an existing skill (even a small section)
  • Deploy a skill and want confidence it works under pressure
