Writing Skills

Process

  1. Gather requirements - ask user about:

    • What task/domain does the skill cover?
    • What specific use cases should it handle?
    • Does it need executable scripts or just instructions?
    • Any reference materials to include?
  2. Draft the skill - create:

    • SKILL.md with concise instructions
    • Additional reference files if content exceeds 500 lines
    • Utility scripts if deterministic operations needed
  3. Review with user - present draft and ask:

    • Does this cover your use cases?
    • Anything missing or unclear?
    • Should any section be more/less detailed?
