Write a Skill

Repo/code changes: run /deslop before commit, push, PR, or merge.

1. Gather Requirements

Ask: domain/task? Primary use cases? Scripts needed? Reference materials? Before new files/scripts, check reuse-first: standard library, native platform, already-installed dependency, one-line instruction.

2. Draft Structure

skill-name/
├── SKILL.md           # Main instructions (required, <100 lines)
├── REFERENCE.md       # Detailed docs (if SKILL.md would exceed 100 lines)
├── EXAMPLES.md        # Usage examples (if needed)
└── scripts/           # Utility scripts (if needed)

3. Description

Max 1024 chars, third person. First sentence: what does. Second: "Use when [triggers]."
