skill-authoring

Design, improve, and evaluate reusable agent skills with high-quality SKILL.md files, precise trigger descriptions, progressive disclosure, and testable behavior. This skill should be used when users ask to create a new skill, rewrite or review an existing skill, audit a skill collection such as `config/source/skills` for redundancy or overlap, improve skill trigger quality, organize skill references, or evaluate whether a skill should trigger and behave correctly.

# Skill Authoring

Create and refine reusable agent skills with better trigger quality, cleaner structure, stronger behavioral guidance, and more reliable evaluation.

## When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

- Create a new `SKILL.md`
- Improve an existing skill's `name` or `description`
- Review whether a skill is too broad, too narrow, or poorly structured
- Audit a local skill collection such as `config/source/skills` for redundancy, trigger overlap, or weak boundaries
- Split a large skill into `SKILL.md` plus `references/`, `assets/`, or `scripts/`
- Design evaluation prompts and review whether a skill triggers and behaves correctly
