Best Practices

•Be Specific: Vague instructions lead to inconsistent results
•Provide Structure: Use templates and formats for predictable output
•Include Examples: Show what good output looks like
•Define Scope: Clarify what the skill should and shouldn't do
•Consider Edge Cases: Address common variations in user requests

Output

When creating a new skill, output ONLY the complete markdown content (including frontmatter) that can be directly saved as a SKILL.md file. Do not include any additional commentary outside the skill content.
