create-agent-skills

Progressive disclosure for option 1 (create):

• If user selects "Task-execution skill" → workflows/create-new-skill.md
• If user selects "Domain expertise skill" → workflows/create-domain-expertise-skill.md

Progressive disclosure for option 3 (add component):

• If user specifies workflow → workflows/add-workflow.md
• If user specifies reference → workflows/add-reference.md
• If user specifies template → workflows/add-template.md
• If user specifies script → workflows/add-script.md

Intent-based routing (if user provides clear intent without selecting menu):

• "audit this skill", "check skill", "review" → workflows/audit-skill.md
• "verify content", "check if current" → workflows/verify-skill.md
• "create domain expertise", "exhaustive knowledge base" → workflows/create-domain-expertise-skill.md
• "create skill for X", "build new skill" → workflows/create-new-skill.md
• "add workflow", "add reference", etc. → workflows/add-{type}.md
• "upgrade to router" → workflows/upgrade-to-router.md

After reading the workflow, follow it exactly.

Skill Structure Quick Reference

Simple skill (single file):

---
name: skill-name
description: What it does and when to use it.
---

<objective>What this skill does</objective>
<quick_start>Immediate actionable guidance</quick_start>
<process>Step-by-step procedure</process>
<success_criteria>How to know it worked</success_criteria>

Complex skill (router pattern):

SKILL.md:
  <essential_principles> - Always applies
  <intake> - Question to ask
  <routing> - Maps answers to workflows

workflows/:
  <required_reading> - Which refs to load
  <process> - Steps
  <success_criteria> - Done when...

references/:
  Domain knowledge, patterns, examples

templates/:
  Output structures Claude copies and fills
  (plans, specs, configs, documents)

scripts/:
  Executable code Claude runs as-is
  (deploy, setup, API calls, data processing)

Domain Knowledge

All in references/:

Structure: recommended-structure.md, skill-structure.md
Principles: core-principles.md, be-clear-and-direct.md, use-xml-tags.md
Patterns: common-patterns.md, workflows-and-validation.md
Assets: using-templates.md, using-scripts.md

Workflows

All in workflows/:

<yaml_requirements>

YAML Frontmatter

Required fields:

---
name: skill-name          # lowercase-with-hyphens, matches directory
description: ...          # What it does AND when to use it (third person)
---

Name conventions: create-*, manage-*, setup-*, generate-*, build-*
</yaml_requirements>

<success_criteria>
A well-structured skill:

• Has valid YAML frontmatter
• Uses pure XML structure (no markdown headings in body)
• Has essential principles inline in SKILL.md
• Routes directly to appropriate workflows based on user intent
• Keeps SKILL.md under 500 lines
• Asks minimal clarifying questions only when truly needed
• Has been tested with real usage
