Individual skill

grim-authoring

Author, validate, and package grim-publishable artifacts — skill directories, rule files, agent definitions, MCP server descriptors, hook manifests, and bundle TOMLs. Use when creating or editing an artifact for grim build or grim release; when choosing frontmatter or catalog metadata fields; when writing a hook.toml with its events, tiers, matchers, and handlers; when creating or maintaining a plugin marketplace git repository (marketplace.toml, grim export marketplace, regenerate CI) or hosting a package index; when adding a vendor-namespaced metadata key for any client grim supports (claude, opencode, copilot, codex, cursor, kiro, junie, gemini, zed, amp, antigravity, cline, droid, goose, warp, openclaw, kilo, qoder — one namespace per client name); or when grim build fails validation with exit code 65.

# Grim Artifact Authoring

Grim publishes six artifact kinds to OCI registries. Each has its own
source shape, frontmatter schema, and validation gates. This root file
holds the invariants that apply to every kind; per-kind depth lives in
`references/`, loaded via the routing table below.

## The Six Kinds

`grim build` and `grim release` infer the kind from the path — except
agents (always `--kind agent`, or they silently pack as rules) and MCP
servers (always `--kind mcp`, or the `.toml` is treated as a bundle).
