Instructions for the agent.
  • Directory names are kebab-case
  • Keep SKILL.md focused; put long reference material in separate files
  • Write specific descriptions so agents know when to activate the skill

Create a starter with:

Terminal window
npx skills init my-skill

See AGENTS.md in the repo for the full authoring guide.
