SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams authoring new agent skills often lack a consistent structure, leading to incomplete or inconsistent SKILL.md files. This template standardizes how skills declare triggers, processes, red flags, and verification steps. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Standardized Frontmatter: Defines the required name, description, and optional context7 metadata sources for skill discovery. - Structured Sections: Includes When to Use, When NOT to Use, Core Process, red flags, and a verification checklist. - Use Case: A maintainer creating a new skill for the repository copies this template, fills in the trigger conditions and process steps, and ships a consistent, discoverable skill. ## Quick Start Copy this template and fill in each section to create a new skill for the repository.
