Creating a Skill

  2. Create directory: workspace/skills/<skill-name>/
  3. Write SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter

SKILL.md Format

---
name: my-skill
description: What this skill does and when to use it
---

# My Skill

Instructions for using this skill...

Frontmatter Fields

  • name (required): Must match the directory name, lowercase [a-z0-9-]
  • description (required): Clear description of what the skill does AND when to trigger it

Guidelines

  • Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines
  • Be concise — the context window is shared
  • Include examples over verbose explanations
  • Only add information the agent doesn't already know
  • Split large reference material into references/*.md files
  • Don't create README.md, CHANGELOG.md, or other auxiliary files
