Architecture-first skill lifecycle for AI agents. 6 modes: CREATE / IMPROVE / VALIDATE / REVIEW / OPTIMIZE / PACKAGE. BinEval binary scoring with threshold-blind, cross-family-calibrated judges, gated self-update loop, pressure testing, 10 authoring principles grounded in empirical research.
A meta-skill that creates, evaluates, and improves other AI agent skills with multiple modes and evidence-based validation.
Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Full lifecycle management for agent skills: draft → test → review → improve → repeat.
One skill to rule them all — from architecture to packaging. The core loop is always the same: write something, test it, see what fails, fix it, test again.
Before any mode that touches scripts (CREATE, IMPROVE, VALIDATE, OPTIMIZE, PACKAGE), run the pre-flight block → references/runtime-setup.md (checks uv, sets UV_BIN/SKILL_CONDUCTOR_DIR, verifies LLM access). If uv is absent, stop and tell the user.
Read context cues. If the user is a skill author iterating on their own work, be direct and technical. If they're new to skills, explain the why behind each step — not just what to do, but why it matters. Default to conversational, not robotic.
Detect mode from context. If ambiguous, ask.
| Mode | When | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1. CREATE | "build a skill", "new skill for..." | Full lifecycle: intent → architecture → scaffold → write → test |
| 2. IMPROVE | "fix this skill", "it doesn't trigger" | Diagnose → eval loop → gated self-update → iterate |
| 3. VALIDATE | "test this skill", "run evals" | Structural checks + trigger testing + BinEval scoring |
| 4. REVIEW | "review this skill", third-party assessment | 11-point quality gate, quick and focused |
| 5. OPTIMIZE | "improve triggering", "description optimization" | Automated description optimization with train/test split |
| 6. PACKAGE | "package for distribution" | Validate + bundle into .skill file |
Before writing anything, extract 2–3 concrete scenarios.
Ask:
Don't move on until you have a clear picture of what the skill does, for whom, and when. This prevents the most common failure: a skill that does something but triggers for the wrong things.
Before writing the skill, verify the agent fails without it:
If the agent already handles it perfectly, the skill is unnecessary. This sounds obvious, but it's the most skipped step and the most valuable one.
Choose a primary pattern from references/patterns.md (can combine):
| Pattern | Use when |
|---|---|
| Sequential workflow | clear step-by-step process |
| Iterative refinement | output improves with cycles |
| Context-aware selection | same goal, different tools by context |
| Domain intelligence | specialized knowledge beyond tool access |
| Multi-MCP coordination | workflow spans multiple services |
Choose degrees of freedom — this determines how much control vs. flexibility the skill gives the agent:
| Freedom | When | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Low (scripts) | fragile, error-prone, must be exact | PDF rotation, API calls |
| Medium (pseudocode) | preferred pattern exists, some variation ok | data processing |
| High (text) | multiple valid approaches, judgment needed | design decisions |
Freedom test: ask "if the agent makes a mistake here, what is the consequence?" High consequence → low freedom (an exact script it must not modify). Low consequence → high freedom (prose, let it judge). Calibrate per step, not per skill — one skill can hold both.
Golden rule: read references/sop-practices.md before authoring or reviewing ANY skill. It holds the canonical 10 authoring principles (universal): pre-flight, no-process-in-description, MOC (SKILL.md = map, not prose), fresh-practitioner author, TWI "why", blind-agent test, inline checklists, one-term-per-concept, cut-the-fat (env/keys OUT of SKILL.md), match-the-form-to-the-failure. For procedural skills (business process with branching: request, quote, onboarding, escalation) the same file also has the deep SOP methodology — format selection, 7-step process, procedural checklist.

## Overview
What this enables. 1-2 sentences. Core principle.
## [Main sections]
Step-by-step with numbered sequences.
Concrete templates over prose.
Imperative voice throughout.
## Common Mistakes
What goes wrong + how to fix.
## Troubleshooting (if applicable)
Error: [message] → Cause: [why] → Fix: [how]
/home/<user>, /Users/<user>) — reference them, never inline (Principle 9a)references/sop-practices.md Principle 5, TWI)This is the critical step — most failures hide here. Treat it as three sub-phases.
Before the full loop, micro-test the wording of anything you just wrote (5+ fresh-context reps, always with a no-guidance control) → references/pressure-testing.md. For a discipline skill — one that makes the agent follow a rule it's tempted to break — a pressure scenario from that file is mandatory, not optional.
evals/evals.json exists with 3–5 prompts (see references/schemas.md)<skill-name>-workspace/iteration-1/eval-0) and eval_metadata.jsonuv and eval-viewer/generate_review.py are reachable from current working dirIf any item fails — fix before proceeding. A missing workspace dir mid-run loses outputs.
| What | Key move | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Spawn with-skill runs | One subagent per eval, skill active, save outputs to iteration-N/<eval-name>/with_skill/ | Parallel = same wall time as one run |
| Spawn baseline runs in the same turn | Same prompt, no skill (or old version snapshot for IMPROVE), save to without_skill/ or old_skill/ | If you wait, baselines drift in time and aren't comparable |
| Draft assertions while runs execute | Pull verifiable statements from eval prompts | Don't waste the 5–15 min of subagent time |
| Capture timing on each notification | Save total_tokens, duration_ms to timing.json immediately | Notification is the only source — process per-arrival, don't batch |
timing.json files written (one per run)grading.json with fields text, passed, evidence (not name/met)benchmark.json aggregated: uv run scripts/aggregate_benchmark.py <workspace>/iteration-N --skill-name <name>agents/analyzer.md for what to look for (non-discriminating assertions, high-variance evals, time/token tradeoffs)uv run eval-viewer/generate_review.py <workspace> --skill-name <name> --benchmark <path>
--static <output.html> and send file to user--previous-workspace <previous-iteration-path>The last bullet is the trap. If you skip user review and "improve" based on your own reading of outputs, you optimize against your taste, not the user's.
If any fail → iterate. Find how the agent rationalizes around the skill, plug loopholes, re-verify.
Read the existing SKILL.md completely. Identify the problem class:
| Problem | Signal | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Undertriggering | skill doesn't load | add keywords, trigger phrases, file types to description |
| Overtriggering | loads for unrelated queries | add negative triggers, be more specific |
| Skips body | follows description only | remove process/workflow from description |
| Inconsistent output | varies across sessions | add explic |

Not for using skills or general coding tasks. --- # Skill Conductor Full lifecycle management for agent skills: **draft → test → review → improve → repeat**. One skill to rule them all — from architecture to packaging. The core loop is always the same: write something, test it, see what fails, fix it, test again. ## Runtime requirements (pre-flight) Before any mode that touches scripts (CREATE, IMPROVE, VALIDATE, OPTIMIZE, PACKAGE), run the pre-flight block → **`references/runtime-setup.md`** (checks `uv`, sets `UV_BIN`/`SKILL_CONDUCTOR_DIR`, verifies LLM access). If `uv` is absent, stop and tell the user. ## How to communicate Read context cues. If the user is a skill author iterating on their own work, be direct and technical. If they're new to skills, explain the _why_ behind each step — not just what to do, but why it matters. Default to conversational, not robotic. - Explain trade-offs when there's a real choice to make - Use concrete examples over abstract rules - When something fails, explain the root cause, not just the fix - Imperative voice in instructions: "Extract the data", not "You should extract" ## Modes Detect mode from context. If ambiguous, ask. | Mode | When | What happens | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1. CREATE | "build a skill", "new skill for..." | Full lifecycle: intent → architecture → scaffold → write → test | | 2. IMPROVE | "fix this skill", "it doesn't trigger" | Diagnose → eval loop → gated self-update → iterate | | 3. VALIDATE | "test this skill", "run evals" | Structural checks + trigger testing + BinEval scoring | | 4. REVIEW | "review this skill", third-party assessment | 11-point quality gate, quick and focused | | 5. OPTIMIZE | "improve triggering", "description optimization" | Automated description optimization with train/test split | | 6. PACKAGE | "package for distribution" | Validate + bundle into .skill file | --- ## Mode 1: CREATE ### Step 1: Capture Intent Before writing anything, extract 2–3 concrete scenarios. Ask: - "What specific task should this skill handle?" - "What would a user say to trigger it?" - "What should NOT trigger it?" Don't move on until you have a clear picture of what the skill does, for whom, and when. This prevents the most common failure: a skill that does _something_ but triggers for the wrong things. ### Step 2: Baseline (TDD RED) Before writing the skill, verify the agent fails without it: 1. Take one scenario from Step 1 2. Run it in a clean session without the skill 3. Document what went wrong — what the agent guessed, what it missed If the agent already handles it perfectly, the skill is unnecessary. This sounds obvious, but it's the most skipped step and the most valuable one. ### Step 3: Architecture Choose a primary pattern from `references/patterns.md` (can combine): | Pattern | Use when | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | Sequential workflow | clear step-by-step process | | Iterative refinement | output improves with cycles | | Context-aware selection | same goal, different tools by context | | Domain intelligence | specialized knowledge beyond tool access | | Multi-MCP coordination | workflow spans multiple services | Choose degrees of freedom — this determines how much control vs. flexibility the skill gives the agent: | Freedom | When | Example | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | | Low (scripts) | fragile, error-prone, must be exact | PDF rotation, API calls | | Medium (pseudocode) | preferred pattern exists, some variation ok | data processing | | High (text) | multiple valid approaches, judgment needed | design decisions | **Freedom test:** ask "if the agent makes a mistake here, what is the consequence?" High consequence → low freedom (an exact script it must not modify). Low consequence → high freedom (prose, let it judge). Calibrate per step, not per skill — one skill can hold both. **Golden rule: read `references/sop-practices.md` before authoring or reviewing ANY skill.** It holds the canonical **10 authoring principles** (universal): pre-flight, no-process-in-description, MOC (SKILL.md = map, not prose), fresh-practitioner author, TWI "why", blind-agent test, inline checklists, one-term-per-concept, cut-the-fat (env/keys OUT of SKILL.md), match-the-form-to-the-failure. For **procedural** skills (business process with branching: request, quote, onboarding, escalation) the same file also has the deep SOP methodology — format selection, 7-step process, procedural checklist. ### Step 4: Scaffold ```bash uv run scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <output-dir> [--resources scripts,references,assets] ``` Or create manually: ``` skill-name/ ├── SKILL.md # required — the brain ├── scripts/ # deterministic operations (executed, not loaded) ├── references/ # detailed docs (loaded on demand) └── assets/ # templates, images for output (never loaded) ``` ### Step 5: Write SKILL.md #### Frontmatter ```yaml --- name: kebab-case-name description: > [What it does]. Use when [4-5 phrasing variations users actually say] — even if they don't explicitly say "[canonical term]". Do NOT use for [negatives]. --- ``` The description is the single most important line — it decides whether the skill triggers at all. The full formula, the pushy clause and worked GOOD/BAD examples live in `references/sop-practices.md` Principle #2. Read it before writing one. - `name`: lowercase, digits, hyphens only. No consecutive hyphens. Matches folder name. Max 64 chars - `description`: max 1024 chars. No angle brackets. No process/workflow steps - **Don't put workflow in the description** — tested: when the description lists process steps, the agent follows it and skips the body entirely #### Body structure ```markdown # Skill Name ## Overview What this enables. 1-2 sentences. Core principle. ## [Main sections] Step-by-step with numbered sequences. Concrete templates over prose. Imperative voice throughout. ## Common Mistakes What goes wrong + how to fix. ## Troubleshooting (if applicable) Error: [message] → Cause: [why] → Fix: [how] ``` #### Writing rules - **One term per concept.** Pick "template" and stick with it — not template/boilerplate/scaffold (Principle 8) - **SKILL.md = map, not prose.** Body is a table-of-contents pointing to references; detail lives there (Principle 3) - **No secrets/env in SKILL.md.** No keys, passwords, tokens, env values, or user-absolute paths (`/home/<user>`, `/Users/<user>`) — reference them, never inline (Principle 9a) - **Progressive disclosure.** SKILL.md = brain (<500 lines). References = details. One level deep - **Token budget.** Frequently loaded: <200 words. Standard: <500 lines. Heavy: move to references/ - **No junk files.** No README, CHANGELOG inside the skill - **Scripts:** bundle when same code rewritten repeatedly, or operation is fragile. Must return descriptive stdout/stderr on failure - **Imperative voice.** Use "Extract the data", not "you should extract" or capitalized "MUST/NEVER" — explanation > rule (see `references/sop-practices.md` Principle 5, TWI) ### Step 6: Test Cases & Eval Loop This is the critical step — most failures hide here. Treat it as three sub-phases. Before the full loop, micro-test the wording of anything you just wrote (5+ fresh-context reps, always with a no-guidance control) → `references/pressure-testing.md`. For a discipline skill — one that makes the agent follow a rule it's tempted to break — a pressure scenario from that file is mandatory, not optional. #### 6a. Pre-flight (before spawning anything) - [ ] `evals/evals.json` exists with 3–5 prompts (see `references/schemas.md`) - [ ] Workspace dir created: `<skill-name>-workspace/iteration-1/` - [ ] Each eval has a descriptive name (not just `eval-0`) and `eval_metadata.json` - [ ] Anthropic key for executor subagents is set - [ ] `uv` and `eval-viewer/generate_review.py` are reachable from current working dir If any item fails — fix before proceeding. A missing workspace dir mid-run loses outputs. #### 6b. Run loop (do all in one turn) | What | Key move | Why | |---|---|---| | Spawn with-skill runs | One subagent per eval, skill active, save outputs to `iteration-N/<eval-name>/with_skill/` | Parallel = same wall time as one run | | Spawn baseline runs in the same turn | Same prompt, no skill (or old version snapshot for IMPROVE), save to `without_skill/` or `old_skill/` | If you wait, baselines drift in time and aren't comparable | | Draft assertions while runs execute | Pull verifiable statements from eval prompts | Don't waste the 5–15 min of subagent time | | Capture timing on each notification | Save `total_tokens`, `duration_ms` to `timing.json` immediately | Notification is the only source — process per-arrival, don't batch | #### 6c. Post-run checklist - [ ] All `timing.json` files written (one per run) - [ ] Each run has a `grading.json` with fields `text`, `passed`, `evidence` (not `name`/`met`) - [ ] `benchmark.json` aggregated: `uv run scripts/aggregate_benchmark.py <workspace>/iteration-N --skill-name <name>` - [ ] Analyst pass done — see `agents/analyzer.md` for what to look for (non-discriminating assertions, high-variance evals, time/token tradeoffs) - [ ] Eval viewer launched: `uv run eval-viewer/generate_review.py <workspace> --skill-name <name> --benchmark <path>` - In headless mode: `--static <output.html>` and send file to user - For iteration 2+: add `--previous-workspace <previous-iteration-path>` - [ ] User saw the viewer **before** I started editing the skill The last bullet is the trap. If you skip user review and "improve" based on your own reading of outputs, you optimize against your taste, not the user's. ### Step 7: Verify & Refactor 1. Does the skill trigger automatically for the right queries? 2. Does the agent follow body instructions (not just description)? 3. Does the output meet use case requirements? 4. Does it NOT trigger on unrelated queries? If any fail → iterate. Find how the agent rationalizes around the skill, plug loopholes, re-verify. --- ## Mode 2: IMPROVE ### Step 1: Diagnose Read the existing SKILL.md completely. Identify the problem class: | Problem | Signal | Fix | | ------------------- | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | Undertriggering | skill doesn't load | add keywords, trigger phrases, file types to description | | Overtriggering | loads for unrelated queries | add negative triggers, be more specific | | Skips body | follows description only | remove process/workflow from description | | Inconsistent output | varies across sessions | add explic
