Skill Standardization

When to use this skill

• Creating new SKILL.md files following the standard template
• Converting existing skills with non-standard section headings
• Validating skill files against the project specification
• Batch processing multiple skill files for consistency
• Ensuring all skills have required sections (Examples, Best practices, References)

Instructions

Step 1: Run the conversion script

Execute the main conversion script to standardize all SKILL.md files:

cd /path/to/.agent-skills
python3 scripts/convert_skills.py

This script will:

• Convert Korean section headings to English
• Standardize frontmatter (add missing tags, platforms)
• Add missing required sections with templates

Step 2: Remove duplicate sections

If files have duplicate sections after conversion:

python3 scripts/remove_duplicates.py

Step 3: Final cleanup

For any remaining non-standard headings:

python3 scripts/final_cleanup.py

Examples

Example 1: Convert a single file manually

from pathlib import Path
import re

filepath = Path('backend/new-skill/SKILL.md')
content = filepath.read_text()

# Convert Korean to English
content = content.replace('## 베스트 프랙티스', '## Best practices')
content = content.replace('## 참고 자료', '## References')
content = re.sub(r'### (\d+)단계:', r'### Step \1:', content)

filepath.write_text(content)

Example 2: Validate a skill file

# Check for required sections
grep -E "^## (When to use|Instructions|Examples|Best practices|References)" SKILL.md

Best practices

1. Run all three scripts in sequence for complete standardization
2. Review changes before committing to ensure content wasn’t lost
3. Keep section content – only headings are converted, not content
4. Test with one file first when making script modifications
