# Skill Factory
Bundled commands use `$PLUGIN_ROOT` (`$env:PLUGIN_ROOT` in PowerShell; same path suffix) for the plugin root. Set it once: use the host's plugin-root variable when defined (Claude Code: `PLUGIN_ROOT="$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT"`), otherwise the absolute path of this skill folder's `../..`.
Create skills that any host agent can actually use: clear trigger metadata, compact hot-path instructions, conditional resources, and executable validation.
Read `$PLUGIN_ROOT/references/skill-runtime-model.md` before creating,
synthesizing, materially refactoring, or installing skills across Codex,
Claude Code, Cursor, or the open Agent Skills format. It records startup
metadata, on-demand body loading, resource loading, host-specific discovery
paths, and install/reload behavior.
For material `name` or `description` work, use `skill-trigger-metadata` first. For portfolio-level split, merge, delete, router, reference-extract, or script-extract decisions across multiple skills, use `capability-portfolio-architect` first. This skill owns concrete skill structure, resources, scripts, packaging, and validation after the boundary decision is made.
## Create A Skill
Use the bundled initializer unless you are editing an existing skill. Choose the destination from the selected delivery surface: plugin-contained skills go under the plugin source tree; repo-local skills go under the current or named repository; installed personal skills go in the active agent's global skills dir.
