When to Create a Skill

Skill Evaluation Checklist

Before creating a skill, ALL of these must be YES:

• Reusable? - Pattern will be used 3+ times
• Stable? - Pattern won't change frequently
• Valuable? - Provides guidance beyond obvious best practices
• Explicit trigger? - Clear action/context that invokes it
• No existing equivalent? - Similar skill doesn't already exist

If ANY answer is NO → Do NOT create the skill.

Create a skill when:

• A pattern is used repeatedly and AI needs guidance
• Project-specific conventions differ from generic best practices
• Complex workflows need step-by-step instructions
