name: Createskill description: MANDATORY skill creation framework for ALL skill creation requests. USE WHEN user wants to create, validate, update, or canonicalize a skill, OR user mentions skill creation, skill development, new skill, build skill, OR user references skill compliance, skill structure, or skill architecture.

Createskill

MANDATORY skill creation framework for ALL skill creation requests.

Authoritative Source

Before creating ANY skill, READ: ${PAI_DIR}/skills/CORE/SkillSystem.md

Canonical example to follow: ${PAI_DIR}/skills/Blogging/SKILL.md

TitleCase Naming Convention

All naming must use TitleCase (PascalCase).

Component	Format	Example
Skill directory	TitleCase	Blogging, Daemon, CreateSkill
Workflow files	TitleCase.md	Create.md, UpdateDaemonInfo.md
Reference docs	TitleCase.md	ProsodyGuide.md, ApiReference.md
Tool files	TitleCase.ts	ManageServer.ts
Help files	TitleCase.help.md	ManageServer.help.md

Wrong (NEVER use):

• createskill, create-skill, CREATE_SKILL
• create.md, update-info.md, SYNC_REPO.md

Workflow Routing

When executing a workflow, output this notification directly:

Running the **WorkflowName** workflow from the **Createskill** skill...

Workflow	Trigger	File
CreateSkill	"create a new skill"	workflows/CreateSkill.md
ValidateSkill	"validate skill", "check skill"	workflows/ValidateSkill.md
UpdateSkill	"update skill", "add workflow"	workflows/UpdateSkill.md
CanonicalizeSkill	"canonicalize", "fix skill structure"	workflows/CanonicalizeSkill.md

Examples

Example 1: Create a new skill from scratch

User: "Create a skill for managing my recipes"
→ Invokes CreateSkill workflow
→ Reads SkillSystem.md for structure requirements
→ Creates skill directory with TitleCase naming
→ Creates SKILL.md, workflows/, tools/
→ Generates USE WHEN triggers based on intent

Example 2: Fix an existing skill that's not routing properly

User: "The research skill isn't triggering - validate it"
→ Invokes ValidateSkill workflow
→ Checks SKILL.md against canonical format
→ Verifies TitleCase naming throughout
→ Verifies USE WHEN triggers are intent-based
→ Reports compliance issues with fixes

Example 3: Canonicalize a skill with old naming

User: "Canonicalize the daemon skill"
→ Invokes CanonicalizeSkill workflow
→ Renames workflow files to TitleCase
→ Updates routing table to match
→ Ensures Examples section exists
→ Verifies all checklist items
