# Create Skill
This skill helps you create new Agent Skills that follow the [agentskills.io specification](https://agentskills.io/specification).
## Quick Start
When asked to create a new skill:
1. **Gather requirements**: Ask what the skill should do
1. **Choose a name**: lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens only (e.g., `pdf-processing`, `data-analysis`)
1. **Generate the structure**: Create `SKILL.md` with proper frontmatter
1. **Add optional components**: scripts, references, assets as needed
## Directory Structure
```
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md # Required: main skill file
├── scripts/ # Optional: executable code
├── references/ # Optional: additional documentation
└── assets/ # Optional: static resources
```
## SKILL.md Template
```markdown
---
name: your-skill-name
description: What this skill does and when to use it. Be specific and include keywords that help agents identify relevant tasks. Max 1024 characters.
license: MIT
compatibility: Optional - environment requirements if any
metadata:

# Skill Title
Brief introduction to the skill.
## Usage
Step-by-step instructions on how to use this skill.
## Examples
Example inputs and outputs.
## Notes
Common edge cases and tips.
```
## Field Requirements
### name (required)
- 1-64 characters
- Lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens only
- Cannot start or end with `-`
- No consecutive hyphens `--`
- Must match directory name
**Valid**: `pdf-processing`, `data-analysis`, `code-review-2`
**Invalid**: `PDF-Processing`, `-pdf`, `pdf--processing`
### description (required)
- 1-1024 characters
- Describe WHAT the skill does AND WHEN to use it
- Include specific keywords for discoverability
**Good**: "Extracts text and tables from PDF files. Use when working with PDF documents, extracting content from PDFs, or processing scanned documents."
**Poor**: "Helps with PDFs."
### license (optional)
- License name or reference to bundled license file
- Examples: `MIT`, `Apache-2.0`, `Proprietary. LICENSE.txt has complete terms`
### compatibility (optional)
- 1-500 characters
- Only include if skill has specific environment requirements
- Examples: "Requires Python 3.8+ and pandas", "Needs internet access for API calls"
### metadata (optional)
- Arbitrary key-value pairs
- Common keys: `author`, `version`, `tags`
### allowed-tools (optional, experimental)
- Space-delimited list of pre-approved tools
- Example: `Bash(git:*) Bash(jq:*) Read`
## Best Practices
### Progressive Disclosure
Design for efficient context usage:
1. **Metadata** (~100 tokens): Loaded at startup for all skills
1. **Instructions** (\<5000 tokens recommended): Loaded when skill is activated
1. **Resources**: Loaded on-demand
Keep `SKILL.md` under 500 lines. Move detailed content to `references/`.
### File Organization
- Keep `SKILL.md` focused on core instructions
- Put detailed docs in `references/REFERENCE.md`
- Put templates in `assets/`
- Put executable code in `scripts/`
### File References
Use relative paths from skill root:
```markdown
See [the reference guide](references/REFERENCE.md) for details.
Run: scripts/process.py
```
Keep references one level deep. Avoid deeply nested chains.
## Validation
After creating a skill, validate it:
```bash
# Install skills-ref if needed
npm install -g @agentskills/skills-ref
# Validate the skill
skills-ref validate ./your-skill-name
```
## Workflow Example
When asked to create a skill for X:
1. Create directory: `your-skill-name/`
1. Write `SKILL.md` with:
- Proper frontmatter (name, description)
- Clear instructions in Markdown body
1. Optionally add:
- `scripts/` for helper scripts
- `references/` for detailed docs
- `assets/` for templates/data
1. Validate with `skills-ref validate`
1. Test the skill with an agent
## Common Patterns
### Simple Skill
Just a `SKILL.md` with instructions:
```
my-skill/
└── SKILL.md
```
### Skill with Scripts
For skills that run code:
```
my-skill/
├── SKILL.md
└── scripts/
└── helper.py
```
### Skill with References
For detailed documentation:
```
my-skill/
├── SKILL.md
└── references/
├── REFERENCE.md
└── examples.md
```
### Full-featured Skill
```
my-skill/
├── SKILL.md
├── scripts/
│ ├── setup.sh
│ └── process.py
├── references/
│ ├── API.md
│ └── FORMATS.md
└── assets/
├── template.json
└── schema.json
```

Skill source recorded
Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.
Review before install: Avoid automatic install
License: MIT
Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
Version reported in registry metadata; check source releases before relying on it.

This page exposes the same decision, trust, audit, use-case, and install signals through the Registry API, so agents can rank this skill without scraping the UI.
