Documentation

README

Skill Creator

A skill for creating new bb skills and iteratively improving them.

At a high level the process looks like this:

  • Decide what the skill should do and roughly how it should do it
  • Write a draft of the skill into ~/.bb/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
  • Try it on a few realistic prompts by spawning bb threads, with and without the skill
  • Evaluate the results with the user, both qualitatively and with a few objective checks
  • Rewrite the skill based on what you learned
  • Repeat until you are both satisfied
  • Optionally tune the description so the skill triggers reliably

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