What problem does it solve?

This Skill Unit provides the core standards and formatting rules for creating or editing BigMac skills, ensuring cross-platform compatibility across Claude Code, OpenClaw, Gemini, and Codex platforms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Compatibility Preface: Ensures all skills are checked for compatibility and platform-specific blocks are added as needed.
  • Platform-Specific Blocks: Provides platform-specific instructions for each supported platform to maintain consistent functionality.
  • Graceful Degradation: Offers fallback instructions for skills that require external CLI tools not available on a given platform.

How do I standardize skill development for cross-platform compatibility across multiple AI coding assistants?▼

To standardize skill development for cross-platform compatibility, apply a mandatory compatibility preface and platform-specific instruction blocks that maintain consistent functionality across Claude Code, OpenClaw, Gemini, and Codex.

What are software standards for writing skills that work across Claude Code, OpenClaw, Gemini, and Codex?▼

Software standards for cross-platform skills require a compatibility preface, platform-specific instruction blocks for each supported AI coding assistant, and graceful degradation fallback instructions for external CLI tools not available on a given platform.

How do I add graceful degradation fallback instructions when a skill requires external CLI tools not available on a target platform?▼

To add graceful degradation for missing external CLI tools, include fallback instructions within the skill definition that provide alternative operational paths, ensuring the skill maintains partial functionality even when platform-specific tools are absent.

Does my BigMac skill need a compatibility preface before adding platform-specific blocks?▼

Yes, your BigMac skill requires a mandatory compatibility preface to ensure all skills are checked for compatibility before platform-specific blocks are added as needed for the target execution environment.

Can I use BigMac skill writing standards to edit existing skills for cross-platform compatibility?▼

Yes, you can use BigMac skill writing standards to edit existing skills by reviewing and updating the SKILL.md file to ensure it adheres to cross-platform compatibility rules and includes the mandatory formatting blocks.
