Create Skill

Create Skill

Create a new skill in .agents/skills/<skill-name>/ following the workflow defined in .agents/skills/README.md.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Intent

Before creating anything, ask the user:

1. Skill name: What should the skill be called? (lowercase, digits, hyphens only, e.g., gh-create-pr, prepare-release)
2. Description: What should this skill do? Include specific trigger contexts (e.g., "Use when user asks to create PRs")
3. Is this a public skill?: Should it be synced to .claude/skills/ for shared use? (default: no, private only)
4. Test cases (optional): Does the user want to set up evals for this skill?

If the user provides partial info (e.g., just a name), proceed with reasonable defaults and ask to confirm.

Step 2: Read Guidelines

Always read .agents/skills/README.md before creating a new skill to ensure compliance with the current workflow.

Step 3: Create Skill Structure

Create the following directory structure:

.agents/skills/<skill-name>/
└── SKILL.md

SKILL.md template:

---
name: <skill-name>
description: <description>
---

# <Skill Name>
