Automated summary

Governs authoring and maintenance of the repository's standards and docs, enforcing prose rules, frontmatter shape, and index regeneration.

Strengths

Provides a concrete sync checklist for adding a standard (file, context table, generated index)
Points to the canonical prose and meta-standard references before any edit
Bans bare cross-references between standards to avoid noise
Flags that standards/index.md is generated and must not be hand-edited

Limitations

Tightly coupled to a specific .claude/ layout and to repo scripts (regen-indexes.sh, bun run check)
Explicitly out of scope for editing prose.md itself, which should be read directly
Covers process and structure, not the substantive quality of a given standard

When to use it

Use when creating, editing, or reviewing files under standards/ or docs/ in this repository.

When not to use it

Do not use for documentation writing elsewhere in the repo, or when you only need to read prose.md.

Security analysis

Safe

Quality score85/100

The skill only provides documentation and authoring conventions for standards/docs files. It declares no tools, executes no commands, and contains no destructive, obfuscated, or exfiltration behavior.

No concerns found

How this analysis is made

Examples

Add a new standard

I need to add a new standard for error-handling conventions under standards/. Show me the required frontmatter and walk me through the sync checklist.

Review doc prose

Review the prose I just wrote in docs/architecture.md against .claude/standards/prose.md and flag any voice or formatting violations.

Regenerate index

standards/index.md looks stale after my change — should I edit it by hand or regenerate it, and how?

name: aitk-standards description: Standards system and docs. Use when editing files in `standards/` or `docs/`, including authoring conventions, install, and sync. Do not load this skill to read `prose.md`. Read it directly.

Standards

Name: Standards and Documentation System
Author: Skills Guide Bot

Read .claude/context/standards.md for system overview and install vs sync before editing.

Prose rules

Read .claude/standards/prose.md before writing or editing any prose in standards/ or docs/. It is the canonical voice and formatting reference.

Cross-references

Do not reference one standard from another. Standards are loaded simultaneously by skills, so signpost links between them add noise without value.
A functional cross-reference that changes behavior is allowed (for example, telling the reader which sibling standard still applies when a hook would otherwise skip the content). Bare signposts are not.

Sync checklist

When adding a standard:

Create the .md file in standards/ following standards/standard.md for shape, frontmatter, and structure.
Update the standards table in .claude/context/standards.md
Do not hand-edit standards/index.md. It is generated by scripts/core/regen-indexes.sh (runs as part of bun run check), and it fails if any standard is missing required frontmatter.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79/download' --output '.skill-downloads/standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

test -f '.skill-downloads/standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/aitk-standards' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79' '.claude/skills/aitk-standards'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation

openskills install './.skill-downloads/standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79'

openskills read 'standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/standards-and-documentation-system-mscrez79/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
