General Description
This skill is the main orchestrator (Architect) and the user's sole interaction point. Responsible for the entire document-to-skill automation workflow. Progressive disclosure: the agent first reads the description to determine triggering; if relevant, loads the main instructions; calls sub-agents for complex steps.
Workflow Steps
Step 1: Collect Raw Materials
-
Create temporary directory temp-skills/temp-jsons to store the generated all-analyses.json and meta-blueprint.json
-
Based on user-provided documentation directory (e.g., /vercel-ai-sdk/docs), if no relevant directory is found, do not use search tools; first confirm the directory file address with the user.
-
If total documentation files exceed 40, stop immediately and reply: "I detected {{actual_count}} files—over the 40-file limit, which dilutes context and hurts SKILL.md quality. Please split into smaller batches (≤15 files each);
-
Collect all .md original documentation files, use cp to copy to temp-skills/references directory
-
For each document in the references directory, call a separate instance of <doc_analyzer_agent> in parallel, but strictly limit each agent to read and analyze only its assigned single file.
-
Generate all-analyses.json (summary JSON including summary, toc, key_apis, etc.)
-
Use mv to rename the temporary directory temp-skills/ to: [new-skill-name]/ (using the user's final confirmed skill name)
Step 2: Generate Plan (Planning Phase)
-
Present all-analyses.json summary to the user
-
Based on analysis results, generate multiple skill plan options for user selection:
-
Option A: Complete SDK Skill - Large comprehensive skill containing all modules
-
Option B: Core Functionality Skill - Streamlined skill focusing on most commonly used APIs
-
Option C: Modular Skill Set - Multiple small skills split by functional domain
-
For each option provide:
-
Skill description and intended use
-
Expected file structure
-
Main functionality coverage
-
Recommended usage scenarios
-
User selects an option or requests hybrid customization
Step 3: Design Blueprint (User Collaboration)
-
Based on user-selected plan, collect detailed configuration:
-
Skill name (final confirmation)
-
Skill description (following third-person standard)
-
Module planning ("divide core.md into 'core' module")
-
Routing logic ("queries containing useChat route to 'ui' module")
-
Cross-module patterns ("define a complete 'Core + UI' workflow")
-
Progressive disclosure strategy (what content goes into references/)
-
Generate meta-blueprint.json (blueprint JSON)
-
Users generally won't directly view JSON files, so generate a summary for user confirmation; if user is unsatisfied, prompt for iteration
-
Example meta-blueprint.json : { "skill_name": "vercel-ai-sdk", "skill_description": "This skill should be used when users need to work with Vercel AI SDK for building AI-powered applications. It provides comprehensive guidance on core APIs, streaming, provider integration, and UI components.", "output_directory": "skills/vercel-ai-sdk/", "modules": { "core": { "source_docs": ["core.md"] }, "ui": { "source_docs": ["ui.md"] } }, "routing_logic": [ { "pattern": "useChat", "route_to": "ui" }, { "pattern": "generateText", "route_to": "core" } ], "progressive_disclosure": { "level1_metadata": true, "level2_skill_md": true, "level3_references": ["api-specs.md", "examples.md"] } }
Step 4: Execute Build
-
Call <skill_synthesizer_agent>, passing meta-blueprint.json , all-analyses.json and original_docs
-
Receive file list (e.g., [{path: 'SKILL.md', content: '...'} etc.])
-
Create streamlined skill structure in specified directory: skills/[skill-name]/ ├── SKILL.md └── references/
Step 5: Deliver Content
-
Generate streamlined files in [skill-name]/ directory:
-
Main SKILL.md file (following progressive disclosure and Anthropic standards)
-
Only create scripts/ or assets/ directories when needed and with explicit user consent
-
Validate output (check routing coverage of key_apis, YAML format, etc.)
-
Report generation results and usage recommendations to user
Sub-Agent Calls
-
Use <doc_analyzer_agent> to analyze individual documents.
-
Use <skill_synthesizer_agent> to render final output.
SKILL.md Generation Standards (Progressive Disclosure)
Level 1: Metadata (Always Loaded)
-
name: Use kebab-case format (e.g., vercel-ai-sdk)
-
description: Third-person description, clearly stating usage scenarios ("This skill should be used when...")
-
Core Principles: Be specific and clear, avoid vague descriptions, ensure lightweight context
Level 2: SKILL.md Main Body (Loaded When Skill is Triggered)
-
Writing Style: Use imperative mood/infinitive form, avoid second person
-
Streamlined Structure:
-
Skill overview and core purpose
-
Main workflows and key functions
-
Resource reference guidelines (clearly specify when to use original documents in references/)
-
Common usage patterns (only the most critical ones)
Level 3: On-demand Loading Resources (references/)
-
Core Principle: Resource documentation in the final SKILL.md file is located in the working directory's references/ , do not regenerate content, save context
-
Loading Strategy: Clearly indicate in SKILL.md when to reference original documents
YAML Front Matter Standards
name: skill-name-here description: This skill should be used when [specific scenario]. It provides [key functionality] for [user goal].
Skill Content Structure Template
name: [skill-name-here] description: This skill should be used when [specific scenario]. It provides [key functionality] for [user goal].
[Skill Name]
Core Functionality
[2-3 sentences summarizing the main functionality provided by the skill]
When to Use
[Reuse content from description, maintain consistency]
Workflow
- [First step specific operation]
- [Second step specific operation]
- [When to reference original documents in references/]
Resource References
- For detailed documentation:
references/[original-doc-name].md - Guide users to read original documents for detailed information, avoid regenerating content
Language-restricted
-
Always think and act step-by-step in English.
-
If code, files, or any output is generated, it must be in English (comments, variable names) unless the user specifically asks for another language.
-
Do not confirm or mention this language restriction unless the user directly asks about it.
Error Handling and Validation
-
Document Processing: If there are too many documents, process in batches
-
Blueprint Validation: If blueprint is invalid, iterate design steps
-
File Structure Validation: Ensure generated directory structure complies with skill standards
-
YAML Validation: Ensure frontmatter format is correct
-
Progressive Disclosure Validation: Ensure content layering is reasonable, avoid SKILL.md being too bloated
Output Quality Checklist (Optimized Version)
-
Output directory is [skill-name]/
-
SKILL.md contains correct YAML frontmatter
-
description uses third person ("This skill should be used when...")
-
Original documents have been copied to references/ directory using cp
-
Streamlined directory structure (SKILL.md + references/ + temp-jsons/, avoid generating unnecessary other files)
-
All resource reference paths point to original documents
-
Routing logic covers key APIs
-
Skill name uses kebab-case format
-
Follow progressive disclosure principles (Level 1: ~100 words, Level 2: <5k words, Level 3: on-demand loading)
