separate

Scaffolds new agent skills for the dotnet/skills repository. Use when creating a new skill, generating SKILL.md files, writing a skill description that the runtime will actually route to, or setting up skill directory structures. Handles frontmatter generation, section templates, and validation guidance. Do not use for fixing a skill that already fails its evaluation (use improve-skill-quality) or for writing eval.yaml (use create-skill-test).

When to use

• Creating a new skill from scratch
• Generating a SKILL.md file with proper frontmatter
• Setting up the skill directory structure with optional folders
• Ensuring compliance with agentskills.io specification

When not to use

• Modifying existing skills (edit directly instead)
• Diagnosing or fixing a skill that fails its evaluation (use `improve-skill-quality`)
• Writing the skill's `eval.yaml` (use `create-skill-test`)
• Creating custom agents (use the agents/ directory pattern)
