Skill Architect

Purpose

Convert one recurring job into a portable skill file.

Deliverable: Marketplace listing and a SKILL.md you can install.

Inputs

Required

• Skill name
• The job
• Required inputs
• Steps you already use
• The deliverable

Optional

• What the skill must not do

Method

1. 01Take the name, job, inputs, and steps from the brief only.
2. 02If steps were written, keep them in that order and mark them as yours.
3. 03If no steps were written, propose the standard six-step production loop and say it is a proposal.
4. 04Leave every missing contract field as not supplied. Do not invent a domain method.
5. 05Write SKILL.md with activation rules, evidence rules, and a QA checklist.

Evidence

A run uses the text you submit. It does not browse, and it does not open links you paste.

• Do not: Invent a workflow you did not describe and call it current practice.
• Do not: Bundle several jobs into one skill.

Quality checks

• The job in the file is the job you typed.
• No step is presented as your current process unless you wrote it.
• No URL, statistic, or tool was added.
