Skill Creator

This skill helps design and iterate high-quality skills for OhMyCowork/DeepAgents.

When to use

Use this skill when users ask to:

• •create a new skill
• •improve an existing skill
• •structure skill resources (scripts/, references/, assets/)

Core principles

1. •Keep SKILL.md concise

• •Assume the model is already capable.
• •Add only domain-specific, procedural, or non-obvious guidance.
• •Prefer short examples over long explanation.

1. •Choose the right amount of constraint

• •High freedom: plain guidance for variable tasks.
• •Medium freedom: patterns or pseudocode.
• •Low freedom: deterministic scripts for fragile/repeatable tasks.

1. •Use progressive disclosure

• •SKILL.md: activation + workflow.
• •references/: long docs loaded only when needed.
• •scripts/: deterministic operations.
• •assets/: templates and output resources.

Recommended structure

<skill-name>/
  SKILL.md
  scripts/       (optional)
  references/    (optional)
  assets/        (optional)

Workflow

1. •Clarify intended user requests and trigger phrases.
2. •Extract repeatable steps from examples.
3. •Decide what belongs in SKILL.md vs scripts/references/assets.
4. •Draft SKILL.md with explicit activation conditions.
5. •Test with realistic prompts and tighten wording.
6. •Keep SKILL.md short; move detail into references.

SKILL.md quality checklist

• •Frontmatter has clear name and description.
• •Body states when the skill should trigger.
• •Steps are actionable and ordered.
• •References are linked from SKILL.md (no deep nesting).
• •No redundant docs that bloat context.

Path guidance for this project

• •Project skills live in .deepagents/skills/.
• •Each skill should be a folder containing SKILL.md.
• •Prefer workspace-relative examples and commands.
