SKILL.md
- name:
- skill-author
- description:
- Create or update an AIDE skill in .aide/skills with valid frontmatter and a concise workflow.
Skill Author
Create a new skill or refine an existing one. Skills are task starters, not role primers.
Inputs
- Creating or updating an existing skill?
- Command name (hyphenated, e.g.
skill-author) - 1-2 sentence goal (what the user wants done)
- What triggers this skill (when should it be chosen over others?)
Workflow
-
Define scope — What this skill does and what it explicitly does not do. Link to AGENTS.md for project facts; do not duplicate them.
-
Choose metadata —
name: hyphenated.description: short plain text, no extra:characters. -
Write SKILL.md to
.aide/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md:- YAML frontmatter:
name+descriptiononly - Task definition (not role framing — no "Documentation Loading (role-based)" sections)
- Inputs section
- Workflow section (numbered, deterministic steps)
- Reference section only if linking to a real file that must exist
- Target: 30-50 lines total
- YAML frontmatter:
-
Add bundled resources only if they pay for themselves —
scripts/for deterministic execution, no extra READMEs inside the skill folder. -
Install — Run
.aide/skills/install-claude.ps1. Reload tool UI and confirm/skill-nameappears.
Authoring checklist
- Frontmatter is valid YAML
descriptionhas no extra:characters- Steps are actionable (no hand-wavy language)
- No references to deleted primer files
- File is 30-50 lines
