High-Quality Skill Authoring Guide

This plugin now carries a dedicated reference for writing stronger, more explicit skills.

What the guide is for

Use the authoring guide when you need to:

• create a new SpecArk skill
• expand a short skill into an operationally complete one
• decide whether a skill should stay a thin wrapper or become a richer controller
• review a skill for missing workflow, validation, or stop-condition detail

Main standards it sets

The guide pushes for skills that:

• define clear trigger conditions
• explain scope and non-goals
• identify required startup reads
• include an executable workflow or operating loop
• define artifact expectations
• specify validation and failure handling

Recommended use

Use the guide together with the local skill-creator meta-skill when extending this bundle.
