What it does
Mandatory orchestrator for all LifeOS skill work: scaffold, edit, validate, canonicalize, test, and improve any skill; handrolling skill files is forbidden. USE WHEN create skill, new skill, make a skill, build a skill, set up a skill, private skill, make a X skill, add an intent, add a tool, edit/change/update/rename a skill, skill frontmatter, validate skill, check skill, canonicalize, scaffold skill, test skill, improve skill, optimize description, skill not triggering, overtriggering. NOT FOR TypeScript CLI generation (CreateCLI).

CreateSkill is the one door for skill work in LifeOS: it creates, edits, validates, canonicalizes, tests, improves and retires skills, and every skill it touches leaves written to the intent standard in ~/.claude/LIFEOS/DOCUMENTATION/Skills/SkillSystem.md § Intent anatomy. An intent is a small ISA. It opens with ## Ideal State (testable outcomes of the deliverable) and ## Anti-criteria (what must never happen), then carries only Inputs, Safety gates, Tool contract, Gotchas, Output format, Examples and References. Choreography of the model's reasoning is cut, never relocated; the four keep-classes (safety gate, verified gotcha with provenance, tool contract, output-format contract) are the only legitimate how (LIFEOS/RULES/Philosophy.md § Ideal-State Prompting, skills/Prompting/Standards.md). This skill (CreateSkill/SKILL.md and its intents) is written to the standard it teaches and is the exemplar to copy.
Shared facts the intents rely on:
- Intents and skills are born from the template through
Tools/Scaffold.ts, nevertouchor a hand-typed skeleton. - The checks are code first:
LIFEOS/TOOLS/IntentLint.ts(the standard),LIFEOS/TOOLS/IntentPreserve.ts(nothing load-bearing lost),LIFEOS/TOOLS/SkillHygieneGate.ts(publishable-clean),LIFEOS/TOOLS/SkillCoverage.ts(does this skill already exist). Judgment covers only what code cannot decide. - An intent's Ideal State and Anti-criteria are also its grading criteria: Assay checks a run against them (
Proof.ts run --intent) and builds a skill suite's rubric from them. Lanes and when suites run follow the one progressive contract,skills/Assay/References/Progressive.md.
