Skill Authoring

Create and review skills using standardized processes.

Intent Detection

Select the appropriate workflow based on user intent:

Intent	Example triggers	Reference
New creation	"create a skill", "new skill", "automate this"	create-workflow.md
Review / improve	"review skill", "quality check", "audit skill"	review-workflow.md
Rule lookup	"skill rules", "guidelines"	guidelines.md

Ask the user to clarify if intent is ambiguous.

Reference Files

File	Content	When to reference
guidelines.md	Shared guidelines (standard rules + best practices)	Both creation and review
create-workflow.md	8-step creation process	New skill creation
review-workflow.md	6-step review process	Skill review
checklist.md	Quality checklist (standard rules + recommended practices)	Final check in creation, evaluation in review
custom-subagent.md	Custom SubAgent definition reference	When creating or evaluating Custom SubAgents
plugin-structure.md	Plugin packaging and distribution	When packaging skills/agents as a plugin

Notes

• Both creation and review require file writes, so this skill runs interactively in the main session (not delegated to a SubAgent)
• guidelines.md is the foundation for all workflows — always reference it before starting creation or review
