# Skill Writer

Use this as the single canonical workflow for skill creation and improvement.
Primary success condition: maximize high-value input coverage before authoring while minimizing wasted runtime tokens.

Follow the workflow steps in order. Load only the reference files required for the step you are on.
`SKILL.md` is the primary router: every bundled reference file should be flat under `references/` and listed here with a direct "open when..." reason.

## Core Workflow References

| Open when you need to... | Read |
|--------------------------|------|
| choose the minimum workflow path for create, update, iterate, or research-first work | `references/mode-selection.md` |
| choose the simplest adequate execution shape before deciding files | `references/execution-shapes.md` |
