We need to produce a 2-3 sentence plain-text summary, objective, factual, no marketing, no bullet points, no markdown, no quotes. At most 60 words. Must explain what the skill does, what problem it solves, when to use it. Provide only the summary text. We need to summarize the skill "CreateSkill" which is a mandatory framework for creating and validating skills. So summary: It provides a standardized process and directory structure for creating new skills, ensuring proper formatting, validation, and canonicalization. It solves inconsistency and validation issues in skill creation.
CreateSkill
MANDATORY skill creation framework for ALL skill creation requests.
Authoritative Source
Before creating ANY skill, READ: $PAI_DIR/skills/CORE/SkillSystem.md
This document contains the complete specification for:
- Skill directory structure
- SKILL.md format and required sections
- Workflow file conventions
- Naming conventions (TitleCase)
- Examples section requirements
How to Create a Skill
- Read the spec:
$PAI_DIR/skills/CORE/SkillSystem.md - Create directory:
$PAI_DIR/skills/SkillName/ - Create SKILL.md with required frontmatter and sections
- Add Workflows/ directory if needed
- Validate by checking all workflow references resolve
How to Validate a Skill
Run the pack validator:
bun run $PAI_DIR/Tools/validate-pack.tsOr manually check:
- SKILL.md exists with valid frontmatter
- All
Workflows/*.mdreferences in SKILL.md exist - Examples section is present
How to Canonicalize a Skill
- Rename files/directories to TitleCase
- Ensure SKILL.md has required sections
- Verify workflow references resolve
- Add Examples section if missing
