Create Skill

This skill helps you scaffold new agent skills that conform to the Agent Skills specification. Agent Skills are a lightweight, open format for extending AI agent capabilities with specialized knowledge and workflows.

When Not to Use

Creating custom agents (use the agents/ directory pattern)
Adding language-specific, framework-specific, or module-specific coding guidelines (use file-based instructions instead)

Key Principles

Frontmatter is critical: name and description determine when the skill triggers—be clear and comprehensive
Concise is key: Only include what agents don't already know; context window is shared
Useful instructions: Only include information that's stable, not easily searchable and can be used for any task within the skill's scope
No duplication: Information lives in SKILL.md OR reference files, not both
