Individual skill

skill-author

Draft a well-formed new skill (a SKILL.md scaffold, optionally with scripts/references) from a described recurring need, for human review and approval. Use whenever a repeated workflow gap has no existing skill covering it, when someone wants to propose or create a new skill or capability, or when an agentic system detects a recurring problem that warrants a brand-new skill rather than editing an existing one. Domain-general — works for any modeling or workflow domain; SWMM is just one example.

# Skill author

Turn a description of a recurring need into a **draft skill** that a human can review and approve. This skill writes proposals; it never installs, activates, or edits skills on its own — a freshly drafted skill is a proposal, not a verified capability.

It is domain-general: nothing here is specific to stormwater or SWMM. The same recipe produces a skill for any modeling or workflow domain.

## When to use

- A recurring problem keeps showing up and **no existing skill covers it** — the gap itself is the trigger to propose a new one.
- Someone asks to "create / propose / draft a new skill" for some capability.
- An agentic system (e.g. a memory or lessons-learned layer) flags a repeated pattern that warrants a new skill rather than a tweak to an existing one.

If an existing skill already covers most of the need, **improve that one instead** — don't create a near-duplicate (see step 2).
