Excerpt

Platform Writer Pattern

Critical

Every writer MUST:
1. Export a single named function: write<Platform>Config(config: <PlatformConfig>): string[]
2. Accept a platform-specific config interface defining what content to write
3. Return string[] of all written file paths (used by manifest and progress display)
4. Create parent directories with fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true }) before writing files
5. Wrap skill frontmatter exactly as shown in Step 4 (YAML between --- markers)
6. NOT modify files outside the intended platform directories (e.g., Claude writer only touches .claude/, CLAUDE.md, .mcp.json)

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