The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

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

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Ask what you can't read from the project or .agents/skill/setup.md, one question at a time, and write profile.json:

    line 14

≈ “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.

Set up a plugin repository

A plugin repository that passes every tool's validator from the first commit saves a week of small failures later.

The engine runs as npx -y @thenavidm/skill-builder@latest. Where skill-builder is installed (npm install -g @thenavidm/skill-builder), run skill-builder instead: it's the same engine, without the download.

1. The profile

Ask what you can't read from the project or .agents/skill/setup.md, one question at a time, and write profile.json:

FieldAsk for
name, displayNameThe plugin's name, lowercase with hyphens, and how people write it
descriptionOne line: what it is, for whom, then the words people search for. It becomes the README's first line and the repository's description, in the same words
keywordsWhat people type to find it; they become the search topics
prefixOne short word every skill's name starts with, so it can't clash with another plugin
authorName and web address. Never an email address in a public repository: it gets scraped
repositoryowner/name on GitHub
licenceMIT unless they say otherwise
pullRequestsWhether to accept them; by default issues are welcome and pull requests are not

2. Write it

Show what it will write first with --dry, then:

npx -y @thenavidm/skill-builder@latest repo new <folder> --profile profile.json

It never overwrites a file that's already there and says which it kept. It builds every tool's manifest and runs check.

3. Prove it

npx -y @thenavidm/skill-builder@latest install <folder>

Each tool's own validator should pass. Two warnings are expected and right: the root AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md guide people working on the repository and aren't plugin content.

4. What to fill in

The README is the specification: the parts left as comments (a real example, what you can ask it, the data it keeps) are theirs to write before the first release. Then skill-plugin or skill-create builds the skills, and skill-publish puts it on GitHub.

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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
