joshuadavidthomas/skill-authoring
Use when authoring, creating, refining, or troubleshooting agent skills — scaffold SKILL.md and frontmatter, write and optimize the trigger description, structure the body with progressive disclosure, validate structure, and test or debug activation. Also when building a new skill from scratch, when a skill won't trigger, loads incorrectly, or the agent ignores it entirely. Use when a skill misbehaved in the current session and needs adjustment based on learnings.
npx skills add https://github.com/joshuadavidthomas/agent-skills --skill skill-authoringTake joshuadavidthomas/skill-authoring from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference pip.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
