# Skill Generator

Read @assets/skill.template.md and use it as template.  

Interactive mode to ask question below one by one.

1. Answer what the skill name is? <skill_name>.  
2. What role will use this skill? <role>.  
3. Descibe this skill. <skill_description>.  
4. Bsaed on given role and skill description, Generate skill details. <detail>.  
5. Based on the skill folder structure save it to ~/.agent/skill/<skill_name_without_space>/SKILL.md.  
If any other reference, it needs to be saved to sub folder accordingly.  
~/.agent/skill/<skill_name_without_space>.

Overview

This skill generates new skills for an LLM-based agent using a reusable template and an interactive prompt flow. It guides the user through concise questions to capture name, role, description, and implementation details, then scaffolds a standardized folder with scripts, references, and assets. The result is a ready-to-edit skill package following the agent's expected layout.

How this skill works

The generator asks the user a sequence of targeted questions to collect the skill name, intended role, descriptive summary, and technical details. It fills a template with those answers and writes a structured skill folder into the agent workspace under ~/.agent/skill/<skill_name_without_spaces> with a main skill file, executable scripts, supporting references, and assets. It validates folder placement and creates subfolders when external references are required.

When to use it

You need to bootstrap a new LLM skill quickly using a consistent template.
When multiple contributors must follow the same folder and file conventions.
To convert a concept or requirement into a ready-to-edit skill package.
When automating repetitive skill-scaffolding tasks for agents.
For onboarding new roles with standardized skill structure.

Best practices

Provide concise, accurate answers during the interactive prompts to ensure the generated content is focused.
Use short, descriptive skill names without spaces or special characters to avoid path issues.
Review and customize the generated main skill file and scripts before running the skill in production.
Add concrete example data to the references folder to improve agent reliability.
Version-control the generated folder and document any deviations from the template.

Example use cases

Create a data-extraction skill that a data analyst role will run to fetch and normalize CSVs.
Scaffold a customer-support responder skill for a support agent role, including example templates in references.
Generate a monitoring skill for an SRE role, with executable health-check scripts in scripts/.
Produce a content-generation skill for a marketing role, with prompt templates stored in assets/.

FAQ

Can I overwrite an existing skill folder?

Yes, but confirm backups first. The generator can replace files in the target folder; use version control to avoid data loss.

What naming rules should I follow for the skill folder?

Use lowercase letters, hyphens or underscores instead of spaces, and avoid special characters to ensure cross-platform compatibility.

Which files are populated automatically?

The main skill file, a basic scripts directory with example executables, an empty references directory, and an assets directory with template resources are created and populated based on your answers.
