This skill is a template + checklist for creating skills in a workspace.

What is a skill?

A skill is a folder under .opencode/skills/<skill-name>/ or .claude/skills/<skill-name>/ anchored by SKILL.md.

Design goals

•Portable: safe to copy between machines
•Reconstructable: can recreate any required local state
•Self-building: can bootstrap its own config/state
•Credential-safe: no secrets committed; graceful first-time setup

Recommended structure

code

.opencode/
  skills/
    my-skill/
      SKILL.md
      README.md
      templates/
      scripts/

Authoring checklist

•Start with a clear purpose statement: when to use it + what it outputs.
•Specify inputs/outputs and any required permissions.
•Include “Setup” steps if the skill needs local tooling.
•Add examples: at least 2 realistic user prompts.
•Keep it safe: avoid destructive defaults; ask for confirmation.
