## Description

Create or improve skills, turn a conversation into reusable SKILL.md instructions, and validate their behavior. Use when the user asks to build, revise, or test a skill.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Skill Creator

Help the user turn a repeatable task into a skill that works in Kelivo. Write
instructions and explain the result in the user's language.

## Understand the task

Use the current conversation first: extract the goal, inputs, expected output,
important corrections, and tools that actually worked. Ask only for missing
details that would change the skill. A clear request is enough to start drafting.

For an update, read the existing SKILL.md and the resources affected by the
change. Preserve the user's workflow and unrelated content. Treat examples as
examples; only turn a preference into a general rule when the user wants it.

## Write the skill

A skill is a directory with a UTF-8 file named exactly `SKILL.md`. Begin with
YAML frontmatter containing `name` and `description`, followed by Markdown:

```markdown
---
name: meeting-actions
description: Turn meeting notes into decisions, action items, and open questions. Use when the user asks to summarize a meeting or extract follow-up tasks.
---

# Meeting Actions

Read the provided notes and separate decisions, action items, and open questions.
For each action, include the owner and deadline when given; mark missing values
as unspecified. Keep tentative proposals distinct from agreed decisions.
```

Choose a short lowercase name using letters, digits, and hyphens, at most 64
characters. Use the same name for its directory. Write a concise description
that says what the skill does and when to use it; Kelivo shows only the first
200 characters in the model's skill list. Put detailed instructions in the body.

Include the task-specific decisions, output shape, and completion criteria that
improve the result. Keep the entrypoint focused. Add these directories only when
the task needs them:
