Skill Creation Protocol

<critical_constraints>

1. ❌ NO generic descriptions. Be highly specific and semantic.
2. ❌ NO missing directories. MUST create scripts/, assets/, tests/.
3. ✅ MUST prefix skill name with ask- and use kebab-case.
4. ✅ MUST include <critical_constraints>, <process>, and <thinking> sections in the new SKILL.md. </critical_constraints>

<file_structure>

skills/// ├── SKILL.md # 🧠 The Brain (Frontmatter + Protocol) ├── scripts/ # 🛡️ Guardrails (Empty .py/.js placeholders) ├── assets/ # 📚 Knowledge (examples.md) └── tests/ # 🧪 Verification (case1.md) </file_structure>

1. Analyze Request:

   • Determine category (coding, planning, tooling).
   • Determine skill-name (must start with ask-).

2. Template Design:

   • Draft the SKILL.md frontmatter with clear Triggers and Negative Constraints.
   • Design 3-5 algorithmic steps for the <process> section.
   • Plan at least one “Critical Constraint” specific to this skill.

3. Scaffold Directory:

   • Create skills/<category>/<skill-name>/.
   • Create subfolders: scripts/, assets/, tests/.

4. Generate Content:

   • SKILL.md: Write the full protocol.
   • assets/examples.md: Create a placeholder or basic example.
   • tests/case1.md: Create a sample input/output test case.

5. Register:

   • Update the root README.md skill table with the new skill.
