Skill Creator

Design or refactor skills so they are small, triggerable, and mechanically valid.

Workflow

Define the exact user requests that should trigger the skill.
Keep
```
SKILL.md
```
short and put deep detail in
```
references/
```
.
Add only the scripts, assets, or references that make execution materially more reliable.
Generate
```
agents/openai.yaml
```
and validate before packaging.

Scripts

```
scripts/init_skill.py
```
initializes a new skill with optional resource folders and
```
agents/openai.yaml
```
.

scripts/generate_openai_yaml.py

writes

agents/openai.yaml

from explicit interface values.

```
scripts/quick_validate.py
```
enforces strict frontmatter, directory naming, agent metadata, and script dependency rules.
```
scripts/package_skill.py
```
validates first, then zips the skill for distribution.

Rules

Keep frontmatter to
```
name
```
and
```
description
```
only.
Make
```
description
```
do the trigger work: what the skill does and when to use it.
Match the folder name exactly to
```
name
```
.
Prefer one focused workflow over a kitchen-sink skill.
Remove placeholder files and generic boilerplate before publishing.
