From yellowpages
The yellowpages skill defines how agents should create, author, and package skills, structure skills for navigation, navigate between skills and documentation, document planning work, define agent personas, run and track multi-step workflows, track state across sessions, and accumulate cross-session learnings. Use this skill when: creating a new skill, scaffolding a skill, authoring or packaging a skill, updating an existing skill, designing skill navigation systems, deciding how to split skill content into sub-files, writing SKILL.md frontmatter or body, documenting planning work (implementation plans, task lists, walkthroughs), defining an agent persona or specialist role, building a step-file workflow, tracking workflow state or gate status, reading or writing session learnings, or navigating a large codebase or skillbase efficiently.

The yellowpages system is the complete standard for how skills are created, authored, packaged, navigated, and maintained. It also covers agents, workflows, documentation, state, and codebase navigation. Every entry is a short cover page that points you to the right place — not the full story.
