Excerpt

Create Skill

Turn a skill idea into a complete, discoverable, and shippable skill folder. Treat the skill instructions, metadata, artwork, README wiring, and validation as one deliverable.

Workflow

Orient the repository. Read AGENTS.md, the root README.md, the nearest existing skill with a similar purpose, and any local lessons file. Inspect package.json, skills.sh.json, the installer, and the existing assets/skill-cards/ and assets/skill-banners/ conventions before editing.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
