Excerpt

Skill Creator

A skill for creating new skills and iteratively improving them.

At a high level, the process of creating a skill goes like this:

Decide what you want the skill to do and roughly how it should do it
Write a draft of the skill (a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter + Markdown body)
Create a few test prompts and run them with the skill injected
Help the user evaluate the results both qualitatively and quantitatively
Rewrite the skill based on feedback from the user's evaluation
Repeat until you're satisfied
Expand the test set and try again at larger scale

Your job when using this skill is to figure out where the user is in this process and then jump in and help them progress through these stages.
