Skill Editor

Refine an agent skill specification by applying user-specific preferences on top of an existing skill-creation workflow. Improve trigger precision, internal consistency, and compactness without expanding scope.

Activation

Use this skill only when the task is to write, revise, or review an agent skill spec.

Metadata First

  • Put trigger conditions and the goal in the header metadata.
  • Do not restate the trigger in the body.
  • Keep the body focused on execution rules and constraints.

Scope Control

  • Default to localized edits unless a full rewrite is explicitly requested.
  • Avoid adding new features, categories, or policies not implied by the user’s request.
  • If information is missing, make safe progress and ask only the smallest clarification needed to avoid incorrect constraints.

Redundancy Control

  • Remove repeated statements across sections.
  • Replace explanatory prose with concise definitions when possible.
  • Keep examples minimal and only when they clarify an otherwise ambiguous rule.

Neutral Examples

  • Use generic examples that do not imply a specific organization, product, or domain.
  • Examples should demonstrate the rule, not introduce new conventions.

Consistency Checks

Before finalizing a spec, ensure:

  • Metadata and body have distinct roles and do not duplicate content.
  • Terms are used consistently and defined once.
  • Rules do not conflict; when tradeoffs exist, the priority is explicit.
  • Output expectations are clear and bounded.
