# CreateSkill

**Contents:** Ideal State · Intent Routing · Data & Config · Gotchas · Examples

CreateSkill is the one door for skill work in LifeOS: it creates, edits, validates, canonicalizes, tests, improves and retires skills, and every skill it touches leaves written to the intent standard in `~/.claude/LIFEOS/DOCUMENTATION/Skills/SkillSystem.md` § Intent anatomy. An intent is a small ISA. It opens with `## Ideal State` (testable outcomes of the deliverable) and `## Anti-criteria` (what must never happen), then carries only Inputs, Safety gates, Tool contract, Gotchas, Output format, Examples and References. Choreography of the model's reasoning is cut, never relocated; the four keep-classes (safety gate, verified gotcha with provenance, tool contract, output-format contract) are the only legitimate how (`LIFEOS/RULES/Philosophy.md` § Ideal-State Prompting, `skills/Prompting/Standards.md`). This skill (`CreateSkill/SKILL.md` and its intents) is written to the standard it teaches and is the exemplar to copy.

Shared facts the intents rely on:

- Intents and skills are born from the template through `Tools/Scaffold.ts`, never `touch` or a hand-typed skeleton.
- The checks are code first: `LIFEOS/TOOLS/IntentLint.ts` (the standard), `LIFEOS/TOOLS/IntentPreserve.ts` (nothing load-bearing lost), `LIFEOS/TOOLS/SkillHygieneGate.ts` (publishable-clean), `LIFEOS/TOOLS/SkillCoverage.ts` (does this skill already exist). Judgment covers only what code cannot decide.
- An intent's Ideal State and Anti-criteria are also its grading criteria: Assay checks a run against them (`Proof.ts run --intent`) and builds a skill suite's rubric from them. Lanes and when suites run follow the one progressive contract, `skills/Assay/References/Progressive.md`.
