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_SKILLcreate.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
