It does not have to be a package root itself. The script walks up from to pick one of two modes: Package mode: If an apm.yml with a top-level 'type:' field (instructions, skill, hybrid, or prompts) is found at or above , the skill is scaffolded into /.apm/skills// — not under itself. An apm.yml with no 'type:' field is a marketplace-only manifest, not a package; it is skipped and the walk continues upward. Standalone mode: If the walk reaches a '.git' directory or the filesystem root without finding a type-bearing apm.yml, the skill is scaffolded directly into //, exactly as was given. Arguments: skill-name Kebab-case skill identifier (e.g. my-tool, data-analyzer). Must match the directory name exactly. path Any existing path inside/at the target. Used to locate the package (package mode) or as the literal parent directory (standalone mode). Must already exist. Examples: ~/.agents/skills/ packages/my-pkg/some/subdir/ Output: Package mode: /.apm/skills// Standalone mode: // Exit codes: 0 Scaffold created successfully, or destination already exists (no-op) 1 Invalid arguments, missing path, or templates not found EOF } if [[ "${1:-}" == "--help" || "${1:-}" == "-h" ]]; then usage exit 0 fi if [[ $# -lt 2 ]]; then echo "Error: skill-name and path are required." >&2 echo "" >&2 usage >&2 exit 1 fi SKILL_NAME="$1" TARGET_INPUT="$2" # Validate skill name format if ! echo "$SKILL_NAME" | grep -qE '^[a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*$'; then echo "Error: skill-name must use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only." >&2 echo " No leading, trailing, or consecutive hyphens." >&2 echo " Received: '$SKILL_NAME'" >&2 exit 1 fi # Validate templates directory exists if [[ ! -d "$TEMPLATES_DIR" ]]; then echo "Error: templates directory not found at '$TEMPLATES_DIR'." >&2 echo " Run this script from its original location inside the skill-author skill." >&2 exit 1 fi # Validate path exists if [[ ! -d "$TARGET_INPUT" ]]; then echo "Error: path '$TARGET_INPUT' does not exist." >&2 exit 1 fi # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Walk up from looking for a type-bearing apm.yml (package mode) or a # .git boundary / filesystem root (standalone mode).
