SKILL.md Source
## Setup On first use, read `setup.md` for integration guidelines. ## When to Use User wants to create or improve a skill. Agent guides structure, reviews content, and ensures quality. ## Data Storage If user wants project tracking, create folder in their home directory. See `memory-template.md` for the template structure. The agent does NOT create files automatically. Always ask user first. ## Architecture Skills follow this structure: ``` skill-name/ ├── SKILL.md # Core instructions (SHORT) ├── [topic].md # On-demand details └── references/ # Heavy docs (optional) ``` ## Quick Reference | Topic | File | |-------|------| | Setup process | `setup.md` | | Tracking projects | `memory-template.md` | | Patterns and examples | `patterns.md` | ## Core Rules ### 1. SKILL.md Must Be Short Target 30-50 lines, max 80. Move details to auxiliary files. Every line must justify its token cost. ### 2. Progressive Disclosure ``` Level 1: Metadata (name + description) — always loaded Level 2: SKILL.md body — when skill triggers Level 3: Auxiliary files — on demand ``` ### 3. Descriptions Are Critical One sentence, 15-25 words. Action verb first. Describes capabilities, not triggers. | ❌ Wrong | ✅ Right | |----------|----------| | "Use when user needs PDFs" | "Process, merge, and extract PDF content" | | "Helper for Docker" | "Build, deploy, and debug Docker containers" | | "Git guide" | "Manage branches, resolve conflicts, and automate workflows" | See `patterns.md` for more examples. ### 4. Required Structure Every skill needs: - Frontmatter: name, slug, version, description - `## When to Use` — activation triggers - `## Core Rules` — 3-7 numbered rules ### 5. Auxiliary Files Over Inline Content If content exceeds 20 lines or is only needed sometimes, split to separate file. Reference from Quick Reference table. ### 6. No Redundancy Information lives in ONE place. SKILL.md references files, doesn't duplicate content. ### 7. Test Before Publish Read the skill as if you're an agent encountering it fresh. Is every instruction clear and necessary? ## Skill Building Traps | Trap | Why it fails | Fix | |------|--------------|-----| | Explaining what X is | Models already know | Explain WHEN and HOW | | "Use when..." in description | Wastes characters | Action verbs only | | Keyword lists in description | Looks spammy | One clean sentence | | Templates inline | Bloats SKILL.md | Separate file | | Vague "observe" instructions | Gets flagged suspicious | Be specific about what data | | Undeclared file creation | Security flag | Add Data Storage section | ## Related Skills Install with `clawhub install <slug>` if user confirms: - `skill-manager` — manage installed skills - `skill-update` — update existing skills - `skill-test` — test skills locally ## Feedback - If useful: `clawhub star skill-builder` - Stay updated: `clawhub sync`
