What problem does it solve? Writing a new agent skill or editing an existing one often leads to broken frontmatter, weak trigger descriptions, and bloated SKILL.md files that never activate. This Skill provides the conventions, checklists, and design patterns needed to author well-structured, reliably triggered skills in this repository. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Authoring checklist: Covers frontmatter rules (name, description, no angle brackets), bilingual trigger phrases, imperative tone, and mandatory Gotchas sections. - Progressive Disclosure sizing: Enforces the 500-line SKILL.md limit with references/ and scripts/ split strategies and directory structure patterns. - Design patterns: Documents scripts bundling with fallbacks, mode constraints, loop exit conditions, setup config, and memory storage patterns. - Use Case: When you ask to create a new skill for automating a workflow, this Skill guides naming, description writing for reliable triggering, structure selection, and validation via frontmatter parsing and trigger tests. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a new skill for your workflow and have it follow the skill-guide conventions for frontmatter, description, and structure.
