Use when the user asks to create a personal skill or change an existing personal skill's intended behavior or public interface in the shared skills directory. Do not use for behavior-preserving refactoring, blueprint regeneration, certificate work, or standards maintenance.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
9 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 17 edited versions we read keep these.
4
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
5
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 38
Before creating a skill, ask whether to research current documentation and comparables unless the user already stated a preference.
- Distinctive: line 44
Before editing any skill file, verify the repo containing that file is on a named branch (git symbolic-ref HEAD from the repo root).
- Very specific: line 50
Before authoring, query standards.interface.query-standard with task.kind=author-skill and --view requirements, selecting one canonical …
- Very specific: line 67
If selected work touches test files or their fixtures or helpers, query references/node-standards/code-testing.standard.yaml as an …
- Distinctive: line 71
Test artifacts are collected or executed by configured test or validation runner.
- Very specific: line 77
Follow up under the original component root with exact returned document and ref pairs.
- Distinctive: line 103
When this skill needs to mention another skill in documentation:
- Very specific: line 105
use the skill name only, with an explicit requirement marker such as REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use ...
- Very specific: line 107
do not use @.../SKILL.md links to another skill file, because they force file loading instead of naming the dependency cleanly
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 17 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

<!-- BEGIN BLUEPRINT INTERFACES -->Generated from
blueprint.yaml. Do not edit this block by hand.
Executable Interfaces:
Send the required caller (caller skill), interface, version, and arguments; optional dry_run defaults to false. Compact uses ordered positionals plus an option mapping; ordered raw argv uses positionals: [] plus every argv token in list options. Never mix forms.
skill-maker._rtx.interface.sync-blueprints— Validate every skill blueprint and either check or refresh generated SKILL.md interface blocks and the runtime-dependency manifest.- Caller:

standard-and-optionsArguments JSON (replace labels with actual values). Omit optional positionals and options that are not needed. {"options": {"--facts-json": "JSON", "--query-json": "JSON", "--refs-json": "JSON", "--repo-root": "PATH", "--view": "requirements|context|evidence|remedies|full"}, "positionals": ["standard-path"], "stdin": null} Required options: []; positional arity: 1..1; stdin: forbidden
- Caller:
<!-- END BLUEPRINT INTERFACES -->Research option when creating a skill
Before creating a skill, ask whether to research current documentation and comparables unless the user already stated a preference. If yes, research first; if no, use only the conversation and repository context.
Git Safety
Before editing any skill file, verify the repo containing that file is on a
named branch (git symbolic-ref HEAD from the repo root). If it fails, check
out a named branch first.
Standards retrieval
Before authoring, query standards.interface.query-standard with
task.kind=author-skill and --view requirements, selecting one canonical root
per component:
| Component being authored | Root standard |
| Parent skill module, including its module-facing gateway role | references/node-standards/instruction-module.standard.yaml |
Registered instruction behavioral source, including the typical <skill>.source.gateway | references/node-standards/instruction-behavioral-source.standard.yaml |
| Python runtime module | references/node-standards/python-module.standard.yaml |
| Registered Python behavioral source | references/node-standards/python-behavioral-source.standard.yaml |
For a schema-minimum skill with sources: {}, query only instruction-module.
A typical registered <skill>.source.gateway requires both instruction roots.
A Python runtime child adds python-module; each registered Python source adds
python-behavioral-source. Query neither absent components nor inferred targets,
owners, or languages.
If selected work touches test files or their fixtures or helpers, query
references/node-standards/code-testing.standard.yaml as an additional
independent root with task.kind=author-skill. Set
task.optimizes-test-performance true for performance work and false otherwise.
Test artifacts are collected or executed by configured test or validation runner.
Markdown-only means no executable test file, fixture, or helper changes. Test
code that validates Markdown remains test code.
Each root returns its complete pinned import closure; never query imported
documents separately.
Follow up under the original component root with exact returned document and
ref pairs. Establish task.affects-executable-behavior from the proposal and
supply known node.is-personal-override and
node.is-repository-validator facts. Enrich and rerun requirements for other
established missing facts; report unresolved facts. Freeze that root and fact
set for context, evidence, and remedy follow-ups.
| Current decision | Request | Use |
| Author behavior | --view requirements | Apply requirements.true; inspect the missing facts in requirements.unknown and rerun. |
| Interpret or apply indexed context | --view context --refs-json JSON | Request a relevant context_index entry or requirement; read only returned context. |
| Choose verification | --view evidence --refs-json JSON | Map checks, tests, and assurances to selected refs; perform semantic_reviews, open only returned artifacts, and preserve limitations. |
| Repair a violation | --view remedies --refs-json JSON | Follow only returned remedies and procedures. |
| Unusual extraction | --query-json JSON | Use the generic filter/projection described by --help. |
| Debug extraction | --view full | Inspect the complete projection only. |
--refs-json contains exact document and ref pairs copied from the
requirements result. Request only information needed for the current decision,
and cite consequential requirement IDs.
For a repository validator, set node.is-repository-validator=true on the
Python-module query and request the relevant remedy under that root and fact
set; do not reproduce its procedure here.
Referencing other skills
When this skill needs to mention another skill in documentation:
- use the skill name only, with an explicit requirement marker such as
**REQUIRED SUB-SKILL:** Use ...or**REQUIRED BACKGROUND:** Use ... - do not use
@.../SKILL.mdlinks to another skill file, because they force file loading instead of naming the dependency cleanly
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
