skill-meta — skills-about-skills

Home branch in Memora: root/skill/skill-meta. The layer's law is AGENTS.md plus the Memora nodes under root/skill/<name> — every skill's own branch is its record, so there is no separate constitution file to consult.

Rules

  • One router shape. Every top-level router carries the same four blocks — frontmatter trigger, Choosing a part, Rules, Related — as specified in parts/skill-authoring/ §3. Quality is the body's content, not an extra layout.
  • Every router names two things in Rules: the forks that go to ask_questions, and the skill's own Memora branch (root/skill/<name>) that it reads and appends to.
  • Creating a skill starts with the intake rule in parts/skill-authoring/ §0 (repeatability, no coverage in skills/, a place not a pile) — those parts are the how, not the whether.
  • After creating or editing a skill: check it against parts/skill-authoring/ §1–3 and run the skill-tester validation if scripts are involved. _scripts/audit_skills_format.py was retired on 2026-10-17, so the check is the spec plus reading the file.
  • Triggers must survive: a description that does not match the body never fires — the August translation incident. Write descriptions in English, in the third person, with the words a real request would use.
  • Skills live in skills/, are synced to Freebuff account-skills by _scripts/sync_skills.py; archives never delete.
