Skill Creator

This skill guides you through the process of creating a new agent skill.

When to use this skill

• When the user wants to add a new capability to the agent.
• When the user wants to standardize a workflow (e.g., "deployment", "testing", "documentation").
• When you need to scaffold a new skill folder structure.

Process

1. Gather Information

Before creating any files, ask the user for the following information if not already provided:

1. Skill Name: A unique identifier in kebab-case (e.g., my-new-skill, database-migration).
2. Description: A concise summary of what the skill does (goes into the YAML frontmatter).
3. Context/Role: What role does the agent play when using this skill? (e.g., "You are a QA engineer...").
4. Instructions: Specific steps, rules, or checklists the agent should follow.
5. Resources: Any specific scripts, templates, or strict schemas needed?

2. Validation

• Ensure the name is URL-friendly (kebab-case).
• Ensure the directory doesn't already exist in .agent/skills/.

3. Execution

Perform the following actions:

1. Create the directory: .agent/skills/<skill-name>/.
2. Create the SKILL.md file at .agent/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md.
3. (Optional) Create subdirectories resources/, scripts/, or examples/ if the user mentioned them.

4. Template for SKILL.md

Use the following template for the new file:

---
name: <skill-name>
description: <description>
---

# <Title Case Skill Name>

## When to use this skill
- <Add bullet points based on description>
- <Add scenarios where this skill is useful>

## Context
<Context/Role information>

## Instructions
<Detailed instructions provided by the user>

5. Final Confirmation

Inform the user that the skill has been created and is ready to be used.
