Overview
The Meta-Skill Generator is the foundational cognitive engine that instructs an AI Agent on how to generate a perfect SKILL.md file using the existing skill-template.md. This skill acts as the orchestration hub for self-expansion, enabling agents to create new skills autonomously while maintaining strict adherence to architectural standards, guardrails, and validation requirements.
Why This Matters
- Self-Expansion: Enables the Agent ecosystem to grow autonomously by generating new skills on demand
- Standardization: Ensures every generated skill follows the exact same structure and quality standards
- Validation: Provides built-in checks to prevent malformed or incomplete skill definitions
- Architectural Integrity: Maintains the "Twin-Engine" intelligence architecture through proper metadata and relationship mapping
Core Concepts & Rules
1. Core Principles
- Follow established patterns and conventions
- Maintain consistency across codebase
- Document decisions and trade-offs
2. Implementation Guidelines
- Start with the simplest viable solution
- Iterate based on feedback and requirements
- Test thoroughly before deployment
Inputs / Outputs / Contracts
- Inputs:
- Business requirement or technical specification
- Target technology stack (optional, can be inferred)
- Reference to
skill-template.mdatD:\Cerebra\CerebraSkills\templates\skill-template.md - Existing skills catalog (for relationship mapping)
- Entry Conditions:
skill-template.mdexists and is accessible- Agent has read access to the CerebraSkills repository
- Target output directory exists or can be created
- Outputs:
- Fully-formed, valid
SKILL.mdfile - Validation report (optional, for quality assurance)
- Fully-formed, valid
- Artifacts Required (Deliverables):
SKILL.mdfile with complete YAML frontmatter- All required sections populated according to template
- Proper markdown formatting and structure
- Acceptance Evidence:
- Generated skill passes markdown linting
- YAML frontmatter is valid and parseable
- All required sections are present and non-empty
- Relationship graph references are valid
- Success Criteria:
- Template structure compliance: 100%
- YAML frontmatter validity: 100%
- Required sections completeness: 100%
- Relationship graph accuracy: 100%
Skill Composition

Quick Start / Implementation Example
- Review requirements and constraints
- Set up development environment
- Implement core functionality following patterns
- Write tests for critical paths
- Run tests and fix issues
- Document any deviations or decisions

Test Scenario Matrix (QA Strategy)
| Type | Focus Area | Required Scenarios / Mocks |
|---|---|---|
| Unit | Core Logic | Must cover primary logic and at least 3 edge/error cases. Target minimum 80% coverage |
| Integration | DB / API | All external API calls or database connections must be mocked during unit tests |
| E2E | User Journey | Critical user flows to test |
| Performance | Latency / Load | Benchmark requirements |
| Security | Vuln / Auth | SAST/DAST or dependency audit |
| Frontend | UX / A11y | Accessibility checklist (WCAG), Performance Budget (Lighthouse score) |
Technical Guardrails & Security Threat Model
1. Security & Privacy (Threat Model)
- Top Threats: Injection attacks, authentication bypass, data exposure
- Data Handling: Sanitize all user inputs to prevent Injection attacks. Never log raw PII
- Secrets Management: No hardcoded API keys. Use Env Vars/Secrets Manager
- Authorization: Validate user permissions before state changes
2. Performance & Resources
- Execution Efficiency: Consider time complexity for algorithms
- Memory Management: Use streams/pagination for large data
- Resource Cleanup: Close DB connections/file handlers in finally blocks
3. Architecture & Scalability
- Design Pattern: Follow SOLID principles, use Dependency Injection
- Modularity: Decouple logic from UI/Frameworks
4. Observability & Reliability
- Logging Standards: Structured JSON, include trace IDs
request_id - Metrics: Track
error_rate,latency,queue_depth - Error Handling: Standardized error codes, no bare except
- Observability Artifacts:
- Log Fields: timestamp, level, message, request_id
- Metrics: request_count, error_count, response_time
- Dashboards/Alerts: High Error Rate > 5%
Agent Directives & Error Recovery
(ข้อกำหนดสำหรับ AI Agent ในการคิดและแก้ปัญหาเมื่อเกิดข้อผิดพลาด)
- Thinking Process: Analyze root cause before fixing. Do not brute-force.
- Fallback Strategy: Stop after 3 failed test attempts. Output root cause and ask for human intervention/clarification.
- Self-Review: Check against Guardrails & Anti-patterns before finalizing.
- Output Constraints: Output ONLY the modified code block. Do not explain unless asked.
Definition of Done (DoD) Checklist
- Tests passed + coverage met
- Lint/Typecheck passed
- Logging/Metrics/Trace implemented
- Security checks passed
- Documentation/Changelog updated
- Accessibility/Performance requirements met (if frontend)
Anti-patterns / Pitfalls
- ⛔ Don't: Log PII, catch-all exception, N+1 queries
- ⚠️ Watch out for: Common symptoms and quick fixes
- 💡 Instead: Use proper error handling, pagination, and logging
