ability-generator_skill

Overview

This skill generates a structured skill template from provided specifications. It converts requirements into a clear, reusable template and a concise checklist to track progress. The output focuses on name, description, workflow steps, and practical notes for implementation.

How this skill works

The skill inspects the input specification for functional goals, expected outcomes, and constraints. It produces a markdown-style skill template and a compact progress checklist, then refines content to ensure clarity and completeness. The final result is a structured summary organized by name, description, workflow, and additional considerations.

When to use it

• You need a repeatable template for building new agent skills quickly.
• Defining scope and workflow for a new AI agent feature or connector.
• Handing off skill requirements between product, engineering, and documentation teams.
• Standardizing skill creation across multiple projects or teams.
• Auditing existing informal notes into a formal skill specification.

Best practices

• Start with clear, measurable requirements before generating the template.
• Include acceptance criteria and example inputs/outputs in the specification.
• Iterate the generated template with stakeholders to capture hidden assumptions.
• Keep workflow steps short, actionable, and ordered by priority.
• Preserve a simple checklist to track progress through development and review.

Example use cases

• Create a new agent skill that connects to an external API with defined input/output formats.
• Convert product feature notes into a developer-ready skill template for implementation.
• Generate onboarding documentation for a new team member responsible for writing skills.
• Standardize skill definitions across a multi-agent orchestration platform.
• Produce a concise handover document when moving a feature from design to engineering.
