and present them for user review before saving.
Workflow
Step 1: Understand the Request
- Parse: What topic? What category (core/author/marketing/ops)?
- Assess: Is this genuinely new or does an existing skill cover it?
Step 2: Research
- Use the Research Gate to gather information from allowlisted domains
- Maximum 5 web fetches per skill acquisition session
- Focus on: best practices, common patterns, expert techniques
Step 3: Draft the SKILL.md
Create a properly formatted skill file with:
- Valid YAML frontmatter (name, description, triggers, permissions)
- Clear instructions and workflow steps
- Author-specific applications where relevant
- At least 3 unique trigger phrases
Step 4: Present for Review
