name: axel-skill description: Structure of skill definition files - role, capabilities, enforcement, registry type: reference

<document type="reference">

  <enforcement>
    - Read `src` and `ref` attributes from skill references to locate files
    - ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} resolves to plugin installation directory
    - Skill files located in .claude/skills/skill-{name}/ directory
  </enforcement>

  <objective>
    Structure of skill definition files. AXEL Skill is a configuration format that enables AI to specialize in a specific area. Each skill defines a role, capability set, and operating rules for the AI, ensuring consistent and high-quality output.

    <understanding>
      !! MANDATORY: READ → UNDERSTAND → APPLY !!
      - READ the template file first
      - UNDERSTAND the structure and patterns
      - APPLY the template structure EXACTLY
      Reference = HOW to think | Template = HOW to write
    </understanding>
  </templates>

  <context>
    - Used to specialize AI in a specific domain
    - Defines role, capabilities, and operating rules
    - Activated by trigger keywords
    - Ensures consistent and high-quality output
    - Integrates with documents, templates, and workflows
  </context>

  <principle name="skill-structure">
    - role: Defines who the AI is (persona, expertise level)
    - objective: Main goal and purpose of the skill
    - capabilities: What the skill can do (bullet list)
    - documents: Reference documents (load="always" or "on-trigger")
    - templates: Output templates (load="on-trigger")
    - workflows: Step-by-step processes (load="on-trigger")
    - triggers: Stage routing rules (optional, for staged execution)
    - execution: Linear text or staged XML blocks (flow="linear|staged")
  </principle>

  <principle name="staged-execution">
    When to use staged execution (flow="staged"):
    - Complex skills requiring multi-step processing
    - Skills with branching logic based on input
    - Skills that invoke agents or workflows
    - Skills needing user confirmation checkpoints

    When to use linear execution (flow="linear"):
    - Simple guidance-only skills
    - Skills with straightforward single-path logic
    - Skills focused on context provision, not task orchestration

    Stage elements:
    - stage id="...": Define execution stage
    - tasks output="...": Declarative task block
    - print: Output message to user
    - set var="..." from="...": Variable assignment
    - goto when="..." to="...": Conditional jump
    - invoke name="...": Call agent/skill
    - workflow src="...": Execute workflow
    - stop kind="end|error": Terminate execution
  </principle>

  <principle name="trigger-routing">
    Automatic stage routing based on user input triggers.

    Trigger format:
    - Single phrase: trigger="create component"
    - Multiple keywords: trigger="[a11y, accessibility, wcag]"

    Behavior:
    - When skill activates, check user message against triggers
    - If match found, jump directly to target stage
    - If no match, start from "init" stage (default)

    Example:
    <triggers>
      <goto trigger="create component" to="component-create"/>
      <goto trigger="[test, testing]" to="test-stage"/>
    </triggers>
  </principle>

  <principle name="registry-loading">
    - load="always": Always load into context
    - load="on-demand": Load when requested (ask keywords)
    - load="on-trigger": Load when specific triggers match
    - mode="context": Add document content to AI context
    - mode="map": Load as reference map only
  </principle>

    Skill Naming (Claude Code Style)

    Two scope levels:

    1. Plugin Level:
       Format: {plugin}:{skill-name}
       Example: axel:skill-axel-expert

    2. User Project Level:
       Format: {project}:{skill-name}
       Example: myproject:skill-frontend

    Structure:

      <ref src="axel:skill-axel-expert" ask="axel, dsl, document"/>
      <ref src="axel:skill-axel-researcher" ask="research"/>
    </skills>

    Usage in registries:
    - src attribute uses this naming format
    - Claude Code resolves names to actual skill files
    - Plugin skills: Defined in plugin's skills/{skill-name}/ folder
    - User skills: Defined in project's .claude/skills/{skill-name}/ folder

    3. User Project Level:

       Example: myproject:agent-code-reviewer:agent-code-reviewer

    4. User Skill Level:
       Format: {project}:{skill}:agents:{agent-name}

      <!-- Plugin level agent -->
      <ref src="axel:agent-project-analysis:agent-project-analysis" ask="analyze"/>

    Attributes:

    When: Defining document/template/workflow references
    Action: Use triggers attribute for conditional loading

    - Documents registry should be defined (AXEL-Enforcement comes from Bootstrap)
    - AXEL-Bootstrap.md MUST be loaded FIRST in documents registry with load="always"
    - Execution must specify flow="linear" or flow="staged"
    - Staged execution requires at least "init" and "complete" stages
