Add Skill Templates

Purpose

This skill standardizes the process of adding new Agent Skill templates to the meta-agent-skills framework. It ensures that new templates follow the required structure for automatic instantiation by the Meta-Agent.

When to Use

• When you want to add a new standard capability (e.g., deploy-k8s, performance-bench) to the meta-agent-skills framework.
• When existing templates need to be cloned or used as a basis for a new one.

Instructions

1. Identify New Skill Requirements:

   • Determine the name and purpose of the new skill.
   • Identify the primary commands that should be included in its Commands table.

2. Use Boilerplate:

   • Read the boilerplate template from assets/skill-template-boilerplate.md.
   • Create a new file in skills/meta-agent-skills/assets/templates/skills/ named <skill-name>.md.

3. Configure Template:

   • Fill in the YAML frontmatter (name, description).
   • Use placeholders like {{ order }}, {{ component }}, {{ path }}, {{ layer }}, {{ command }}, and {{ description }} in the Commands table.
   • Refer to references/conventions.md for guidance on placeholder usage and layer naming.

4. Register Capability:

   • Update the Capabilities Generated section in skills/meta-agent-skills/SKILL.md to include the new skill.

5. Verify:

   • Ensure the template is readable and follows the format of existing templates like lint-fix.md.
