SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

SDL provides a rigorous, repeatable process to design production-grade agent skills that are maintainable, composable, and auditable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • The 10-Step Skill Design Loop (SDL) guides from Uncertainty Ledger to Scope, Contract, Progressive Disclosure, Matching Signals, and Lifecycle metadata.
  • Progressive disclosure decouples core instructions from deep references, enabling safe activation with on-demand detail.
  • Security hardening and structured evaluation guardrails ensure predictable behavior and reliable outcomes across projects.

Quick Start

Follow the SDL 10-step process to design a reusable, secure skill from requirement capture to packaging and evaluation.

FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to design production-grade agent skills?▼

Production-grade agent skills are designed using a repeatable 10-step Skill Design Loop, which enforces a contract-first approach with progressive disclosure, security hardening, and structured evaluation guardrails for maintainability.

How do I package reusable agent workflows for safe on-demand activation?▼

Package reusable workflows by applying progressive disclosure, which decouples core instructions from deep references within a prefabricated structure, ensuring safe activation and on-demand detail retrieval.

How does progressive disclosure work in agent skill design?▼

Progressive disclosure decouples core instructions from deep references, allowing agent skills to activate safely with deterministic matching signals and on-demand detail retrieval.

Can I enforce security and evaluation guardrails when building agent skills?▼

Yes, you enforce security hardening and structured evaluation guardrails by following a rigorous design loop that scopes contracts, defines matching signals, and applies lifecycle metadata for predictable behavior.

What structure do I need to create maintainable and auditable agent skills?▼

You need a prefabricated contract-first structure containing SKILL.md, references, and scripts assets to enable deterministic evaluation, robust matching signals, and lifecycle metadata for auditable agent skills.

When should I not use a contract-first approach for agent skill design?▼

A contract-first approach with structured evaluation guardrails may be unnecessary for disposable prototypes where strict lifecycle metadata, security hardening, and deterministic evaluation are not required.
