skill-creationlisted

How to add a new skill to this system, once the decision to build one is already made. Naming convention, required section shape, a sizing target and split ceiling, and the integration and pre-publish checklists a new skill runs through before it counts as live. Does not decide whether a recurring need is worth a skill in the first place (see skill-discovery) or check a skill file's prose against content-quality standards (see document-standards, which still governs SKILL.md and CHANGELOG.md as generated documents).

# When to Use Any time a new skill is being added to this system, an existing skill is being split into more than one file, or a skill is being renamed. Assumes the worthiness question, is this actually recurring, reusable, complex, and stable enough to earn a skill, is already resolved. That test lives in `skill-discovery`, not here. # Naming Convention - Lowercase, hyphen-separated, noun phrase naming the skill's domain, not a verb phrase describing an action: `document-standards`, `working-preferences`, `skill-discovery`. Not `write-documents` or `discover-skills`. - Two words, occasionally three, matching the existing family (`working-preferences`, `document-standards`, `technical-documents`, `surface-regimes`, `skill-creation`, `skill-discovery`). A name needing more than three words signals the skill's scope is too wide. Narrow it or split it before naming it. - No version number, date, or status word in the name itself. No `document-standards-v2`, no `skill-creation-draft`. Versioning lives in the skill's own `CHANGELOG.md`. The name describes the domain, which shouldn't change with revisions. - Check for collision and near-collision before finalizing, not only exact duplicates. `skill-creation` and `skill-create` triggering on similar phrasing is as much a problem as an exact match. # Required Sections Every `SKILL.md` in this system follows the same three-position skeleton. Only the middle position varies by skill. 1. **Frontmatter.** `name` and `description` o
