examples/skills/hello-greeter/SKILL.md
Greets a single recipient with a friendly welcome message rendered in a formal or casual tone. Activates when the conversation asks to say hello or welcome someone; use when a minimal standalone skill is needed. Demonstrates the smallest valid standalone skill in the Skill System Foundry — required name and description frontmatter plus an optional metadata block — and how its layout passes validation.

Produces a one-line welcome message addressed to a named recipient. The skill exists as a reference example only — it shows the smallest valid shape a standalone skill can take while still satisfying the Agent Skills specification and foundry conventions.
Hello, <name>!. For "formal" tone, the format is Good day, <name>..Input: say hello to Sam. Output: Hello, Sam!
Input: formal greeting for Dr. Lee. Output: Good day, Dr. Lee.
A single plain-text line containing the greeting. No markdown, no fences, no trailing whitespace.
tools
Greets a recipient through one of two registered tones — formal or casual — by dispatching to a dedicated capability. Activates when the conversation asks for a tone-specific welcome or a switch between formal and casual greetings; use when comparing the two styles. Demonstrates the router pattern in the Skill System Foundry — a thin SKILL.md entry point routing to capability files, with allowed-tools declared in frontmatter so capability shell fences pass validation.
testing
Designs and evolves AI-agnostic skill systems. Triggers on skill/capability creation, role definition, or router migration; use when auditing consistency or improving token efficiency.
development
Governs the configuration.yaml file that serves as the single source of truth for all validation rules in the Skill System Foundry. Triggers when adding, modifying, or reviewing validation rules, limits, patterns, or reserved words. Also triggers when working with constants.py, yaml_parser.py, or any code that reads from configuration.yaml. Use this skill when asked to add a new validation check, change a limit or threshold, update reserved word lists, add SPDX license identifiers, modify regex patterns, or troubleshoot why a validation rule is not working as expected. Activates on mentions of configuration, validation rules, constants, thresholds, or pattern definitions.
testing
Validates a skill directory against the Agent Skills specification (agentskills.io/specification). Checks file reference consistency, frontmatter compliance, progressive disclosure, and structural correctness. Triggers when asked to validate a skill against the spec, check skill references, verify spec compliance, audit a skill's structure, or confirm a skill is ready for distribution. Also triggers on phrases like "is this skill valid," "check spec compliance," "validate file references," "verify the skill structure," or "does this skill follow the spec." Use this skill to catch structural issues, broken references, and spec violations in any skill directory.
