skill-author

Author and refine skills conforming to the agentskills.io specification — create new skills from scratch or apply improvement signals to existing ones.

What it does

Routes to one of two flows based on context: if no skill directory exists at the target path, it scaffolds the directory from annotated templates, fills in SKILL.md and supporting files, and validates the result. If an existing skill directory and improvement signals are both present, it groups those signals by root cause and applies targeted edits, then re-validates.

Before you start

Run /grill-me to resolve design decisions before creating a new skill
Collect domain research, examples, and constraints
Know the skill name (kebab-case) and destination path

Placement

Type	Path
Direct (available immediately after install)	`~/.agents/skills/<name>/`
Plugin (installed via marketplace)	`plugins/<plugin>/skills/<name>/`

If the destination is inside a plugin directory, read references/deployment-modes.md — cache isolation rules apply.

Usage

/skill-author
