Skill New

Scaffolds a new skill for the Clade skill registry (configs/skills/), encoding the Agent Skills spec rules (agentskills.io) and Clade's own conventions so every new skill is born consistent, discoverable, and tested.

What it does

1. Checks the existing 127+ skills for overlap first (extend beats duplicate)
2. Interviews for the missing pieces: use cases, trigger phrases (EN + 中文), sibling disambiguation, invocability, arguments
3. Generates SKILL.md (discovery layer) + prompt.md (execution body) following the frontmatter hard rules enforced by validate-skills.py
4. Adds golden-set routing test cases to orchestrator/tests/test_routing_eval.py so triggering is CI-guarded
5. Runs the full validation gate: skill lint + routing eval
6. Commits via committer and reminds about ./install.sh deploy

Usage

/skill-new                          # full interview
/skill-new pdf-extract              # name known, interview the rest
/skill-new "summarize meeting notes into action items"

Frontmatter hard rules (validated, don't fight them)

• name = directory name, kebab-case, no "claude"/"anthropic"
• description ≤ 1024 chars, single line, WHAT + key capabilities, no < >
• when_to_use carries trigger phrases users would actually type (EN + 中文), ending with NOT for X (use /y) clauses when siblings could confuse routing
• SKILL.md body under 500 lines (Agent Skills spec); execution detail lives in prompt.md, bulky reference material in references/
• No README.md inside the skill folder
