Workflow

1. Determine the operation (create, edit, or delete) from user's request
2. Execute the operation:
   • If create, then:
     • If requirements unclear, then ask using AskUserQuestion: skill name, purpose, tool restrictions
     • If IS_DOTFILES, then ask scope (user-level/project-local)
     • Create SKILLS_DIR/[skill-name]/SKILL.md
     • Follow the format in format.md, see basic-structure.md for template
   • If edit, then:
     • Locate SKILLS_DIR/[skill-name]
     • Read and modify SKILL.md or supporting files as requested
   • If delete, then:
     • Confirm with user before deletion
     • Remove SKILLS_DIR/[skill-name]
3. Update SETTINGS_FILE permissions as needed

Report

Inform the user:

• The operation performed and skill location
• For user-level: remind to run Nix to deploy
• For project-local: immediately available in the current project
