Skill format

Each skill is a directory with a SKILL.md file:

---
name: my-skill
description: "Use when the user asks to do X. Does Y."
allowed-tools: Bash(git:*), Read, Write
category: tools
---

# Skill Name

Instructions for the model...

Frontmatter rules (enforced by the linter, see below):

• name: — required, the discovery name exposed to coding agents.
• description: — what the LLM matches against to decide when to use the skill. Keep it under 200 characters and include a trigger phrase ("Use when ...").
• allowed-tools: — use Bash(name:*) for shell commands and bare names for top-level tools (Read, Write, Edit, ...). Not ["tool_name"].
• category: / tags: / domain: — at least one, for discoverability.

The repository-relative category/slug path is the canonical library ID. A name: may remain user-friendly, but duplicate names are reported because a flat agent runtime cannot load them unambiguously.

Linting

Every SKILL.md is checked against the cue spec (rules R001–R013): frontmatter fields, allowed-tools syntax, trigger phrases, voice rules, anchor links, and more. Run it locally:

cue skills-lint my-skill                      # one skill
# or against the whole library from the cue repo:
bun src/index.ts lint-skill skills/

CI runs the same checks via skill-md-lint-action. Repository organization is checked separately with:

python scripts/library_inventory.py

This verifies catalog portability and freshness, generated/template metadata, README counts, canonical IDs, and structural collisions. Existing duplicate names and category mismatches are warnings until their migrations are reviewed; new generated drift and stale artifacts fail CI.

Removed duplicate IDs remain discoverable in catalog/aliases.json. Consumers should resolve an alias before looking up the canonical category/slug ID.

How cue uses this

Profiles reference skills by category/slug:

# profiles/backend/profile.yaml
skills:
  local:
    - review/code-review
    - deployment/coolify
    - github/gh-fix-ci

At launch, cue symlinks these into the runtime's skills/ directory.

Adding a skill

cue skills-new my-skill                       # scaffold
# edit skills/<category>/my-skill/SKILL.md
cue skills-lint my-skill                      # validate
cue skills-test my-skill                      # test

Or manually: create skills/<category>/<slug>/SKILL.md with the frontmatter format above.

To import an existing user's Codex or Claude Code skills safely, start a new session in this repository with one of the reusable prompts:

• prompts/import-skills-codex.md
• prompts/import-skills-claude-code.md

The prompts preserve complete skill directories, report semantic collisions instead of overwriting them, and refresh the cue catalog after import.
