Section titled “Reference: askit-build-skill”

Creates and improves skills to the Standard. Emits for Claude and Codex.

  • create: brief interview -> scaffold skills/<name>/ from templates/SKILL.md -> fill frontmatter (name == directory; description that clears the 8.1 bar) -> evaluate.
  • improve: consume evaluate --json -> resolve findings (description, samples, instruction budget) -> re-evaluate.
  • A la carte: works inside any plugin; does not require the full anatomy and does not impose surrounding scaffold.
  • Authoring bar: see the skill’s references/authoring-guide.md.
  • Multi-agent emission: declare agent-targets in library.json and run gen-manifest.mjs --target=all (or --target=claude / --target=codex for one). agent-targets is the declaration; there is no --agent-target flag. A dedicated authoring subagent is still a later addition.
