Version normalization (scope: only plugins/skills older than 2.7.0): - Bumped 52 plugin.json + 21 SKILL.md `version` fields from pre-2.7.0 values (1.0.0 / 2.0.x / 2.2.x / 2.3.x / 2.4.x / 2.5.x) to 2.9.0. Left 2.7.0+ packages untouched. Tool mirrors (.codex/.gemini/.vibe/ .hermes) excluded. All manifests still pass check_plugin_json --all. Doc count refresh (recomputed raw figures: 338 skills, 16 domains, 62 plugins, 533 Python tools, 676 references): - marketplace.json: both descriptions + metadata.version -> 2.9.0. - Root README: headline, badges (Skills 338, Agents 51+, Commands 87+), intro counts, convert section (338 skills / 9 tools), and the full domain table rebuilt to 16 domains summing to 338 (adds research-ops, business-operations, commercial, compliance-os; corrects product 17, marketing 46, c-level 66, ra-qm 18, finance 4, engineering 51/78). - Fixed stale per-skill README `Version:` lines left inconsistent by the bump (andreessen, c-level-agents, product-team, senior-qa). - Fixed stale domain README footers (product-team 17/17, c-level 66/66, project-management 9/9). - CLAUDE.md scope line, structure tree, highlight, and footer synced to the raw figures. https://claude.ai/code/session_01PUNmQVE4WYvcrzpq2anC3D |

write-a-skill
Skill-author skill: create new agent skills with proper structure, progressive disclosure, and bundled resources.
Attribution
Derived from Matt Pocock's write-a-skill (MIT-licensed). Matt's skills repo — "Skills for Real Engineers. Straight from my .claude directory" — is the original source. Matt's SKILL.md voice + 3-phase workflow (Gather → Draft → Review) preserved verbatim per his MIT license.
What this adds on top of Matt's original
| Addition | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 3 stdlib Python validation tools | skills/write-a-skill/scripts/ |
Operationalize Matt's review checklist (description validator, structure validator, review-checklist runner). Catches the common mistakes Matt names. |
| 3 in-depth references (5+ sources each) | skills/write-a-skill/references/ |
Progressive disclosure principles · Description design patterns · Quality gates for skills. Cites Anthropic skill docs + community precedent + research. |
| cs-skill-author persona agent | agents/cs-skill-author.md |
Surface skill-authoring as a forcing-question interrogation matching our cs-* persona pattern. |
/cs:write-a-skill slash command |
commands/cs-write-a-skill.md |
6-question forcing interrogation that runs Matt's review checklist programmatically. |
What Matt's original brings (preserved)
- The 3-phase workflow: Gather → Draft → Review
- The non-negotiable description rule: "The description is the only thing your agent sees when deciding which skill to load."
- The 100-line SKILL.md ceiling + progressive-disclosure pattern (REFERENCE.md / EXAMPLES.md / scripts)
- The good-example vs bad-example contrast for description writing
- The 6-item review checklist
- Matt's directness — no fluff, concrete patterns
Quick start
# Run Matt's review checklist on an existing skill
python skills/write-a-skill/scripts/skill_review_checklist_runner.py path/to/SKILL.md
# Validate description meets Matt's criteria (≤1024 chars, third person, "Use when" trigger)
python skills/write-a-skill/scripts/skill_description_validator.py path/to/SKILL.md
# Validate skill folder structure
python skills/write-a-skill/scripts/skill_structure_validator.py path/to/skill-folder/
All three tools run with embedded samples if no path provided.
