Packages and reviews agent Skills (SKILL.md + capability.yaml) using Stars-derived packaging patterns

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

7 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 4

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Use this Skill when / Inputs / Procedure / Output / Prohibited actions.

    line 30
  2. Very specific:

    Ensure capability.yaml matches the slug, sets lifecycle_stage: AVAILABLE_SKILL (or proposal stage), and lists real capabilities_provided …

    line 31
  3. Very specific:

    Verify M23 gates: security-review + dependency-supply-chain evidence paths exist.

    line 34
  4. Very specific:

    Run ./scripts/compile-capability-registry.sh and ./scripts/doctor.sh.

    line 37
  5. Distinctive:

    Do not clone or execute external starred repositories

    line 47
  6. Very specific:

    Do not set approved_for_execution: true on TI candidates

    line 48
  7. Distinctive:

    Do not install Skills without a Captain-reviewed PR

    line 49

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Agent Skills Packaging

Use this Skill when

Authoring, reviewing, or promoting a NorthStar / Cursor Skill sidecar (SKILL.md + capability.yaml), especially drafts from the Skills Learning Loop.

Origin

  • Starred discovery: anthropics/skills
  • Candidate: github-stars-anthropics-skills
  • Lifecycle: AVAILABLE_SKILL (Captain-promoted Wave 1 / OVA-71)
  • Metadata/procedure only — do not clone or execute the starred repo

Inputs

  • Draft Skill directory or Learning Loop skill-draft path
  • TI scorecard evidence (security-review + dependency-supply-chain)
  • Target slug and install path under .cursor/skills/<slug>/

Procedure

  1. Confirm the draft has YAML frontmatter (name, description) and sections: Use this Skill when / Inputs / Procedure / Output / Prohibited actions.
  2. Ensure capability.yaml matches the slug, sets lifecycle_stage: AVAILABLE_SKILL (or proposal stage), and lists real capabilities_provided (not token-noise from repo names).
  3. Verify M23 gates: security-review + dependency-supply-chain evidence paths exist; approved_for_execution stays false on TI candidates.
  4. Register the slug in orchestrator/registry/compiler.py SKILL_SLUGS.
  5. Run ./scripts/compile-capability-registry.sh and ./scripts/doctor.sh.
  6. Ship only via Captain-reviewed PR; never auto-install from Learning Loop.

Output

  • Review notes or PR that installs .cursor/skills/<slug>/
  • Updated capability registry compile (no warnings for the new slug)

Prohibited actions

  • Do not clone or execute external starred repositories
  • Do not set approved_for_execution: true on TI candidates
  • Do not install Skills without a Captain-reviewed PR
