System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps development teams consistently create ToolUniverse tools by enforcing a standard structure, frontmatter metadata, and validated configurations before integration into the MCP ecosystem. It guides tool creators to align with project conventions, reducing onboarding time and integration errors.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Skeleton generation: Provides a consistent directory layout (SKILL.md, references/, templates/) and ensures required files exist.
- Validation guidance: Offers concrete examples for JSON schemas, test_examples, and return_schema to prevent schema drift.
- Template usage: Demonstrates how to scaffold tool classes, JSON configurations, and test templates using the provided templates.
- MCP compatibility: Emphasizes naming, registration, and default config steps to ensure tools load correctly.
- Use cases: Ideal for creating new tools for API integrations, data utilities, and wrappers around external services.
Quick Start
To begin, review the SKILL.md to understand the guidance, then copy templates from templates/ to initialize your new tool. Create or update the JSON configuration under data/ for your tool, add tests using the provided test templates, and register the new skill within the ToolUniverse workflow. Validate by running the standard tests and verification steps described in the Quick Start and References.
