authoring

Write or revise a Genie skill so it survives the shipped contract — frontmatter, house size, starter card, and runtime-neutral voice.

# Authoring

A skill is a document an agent executes, not prose a human skims. Reference only; the edit belongs to whoever called you. Before writing a new one, run the skill-audit search pass: consolidation is the house default and a near-duplicate is a revision, not a new directory.

## The contract

A shipped skill is one top-level directory holding `SKILL.md` at its root, `agents/openai.yaml`, and optional `references/*.md`. Nesting hides it from the installer; an empty directory fails the gate.

Frontmatter carries exactly four keys, in order, and nothing else:

```yaml
---
name: <directory name, lowercase kebab>
description: "<one quoted sentence naming the workflow and its deliverable>"
