Start from a plain summary
Optional. Describe the skill in a sentence or two and the model will draft the description and the trigger lists below. You can edit everything afterward, or skip this and fill the form by hand.
Your summary is used for this request only and is not stored.
Description* Two to four sentences. What it does, when to use it, an 'Also triggers when' line, and who it is for. This is what makes the skill load at the right time.
Purpose statement One sentence that opens the skill body. What this skill exists to do.
When to use One trigger situation per line. Concrete request shapes, not a restatement of the description.
When NOT to use One per line. Situations that look similar but belong to a different skill or are out of scope.
Required inputs One per line. What the skill needs from the user before it can do good work.
The framework Optional. The durable method behind the skill: the model, the dimensions, the layers. Free-form prose or a list. Leave blank for pure how-to skills.
Workflow One step per line. Numbered automatically. The repeatable steps the skill follows.
Failure patterns One per line. The mistakes this skill should avoid or push back on.
Output format What the deliverable looks like. Named and structured, not just 'good output'.
Reference files Optional. One per line. Files in a references/ folder, each with a short description.
