skill-writer
Guide for creating well-structured Agent Skills for Claude Code with best practices and validation.
- Covers full Skill lifecycle: scoping, file structure, YAML frontmatter validation, content organization, and testing procedures
- Enforces strict naming rules (lowercase, hyphens, max 64 chars) and description requirements (specific triggers, file types, "what" and "when" clauses)
- Provides templates for common patterns including read-only Skills, script-based Skills, and multi-file Skills with progressive disclosure
- Includes validation checklist, debugging strategies, and troubleshooting guidance for activation and conflict resolution

Instructions
Step 1: Determine Skill scope
First, understand what the Skill should do:
More from pytorch/pytorch
docstring
Write docstrings for PyTorch functions and methods following PyTorch conventions. Use when writing or updating docstrings in PyTorch code.
966pr-review
Review PyTorch pull requests for code quality, test coverage, security, and backward compatibility. Use when reviewing PRs, when asked to review code changes, or when the user mentions "review PR", "code review", or "check this PR".
934add-uint-support
Add unsigned integer (uint) type support to PyTorch operators by updating AT_DISPATCH macros. Use when adding support for uint16, uint32, uint64 types to operators, kernels, or when user mentions enabling unsigned types, barebones unsigned types, or uint support.
920at-dispatch-v2
Convert PyTorch AT_DISPATCH macros to AT_DISPATCH_V2 format in ATen C++ code. Use when porting AT_DISPATCH_ALL_TYPES_AND*, AT_DISPATCH_FLOATING_TYPES*, or other dispatch macros to the new v2 API. For ATen kernel files, CUDA kernels, and native operator implementations.
918metal-kernel
Write Metal/MPS kernels for PyTorch operators. Use when adding MPS device support to operators, implementing Metal shaders, or porting CUDA kernels to Apple Silicon. Covers native_functions.yaml dispatch, host-side operators, and Metal kernel implementation.
904triaging-issues
Triages GitHub issues by routing to oncall teams, applying labels, and closing questions. Use when processing new PyTorch issues or when asked to triage an issue.
