name: skill-scaffold-generator description: Generates new skill folders and SKILL.md drafts from approved evolution proposals, enforcing project standards. triggers: [skill-proposal-approved, manual-skill-creation] outputs: [new-skill-directory, standardized-skill-md]

Skill Scaffold Generator

Purpose

Ensures that every new skill in the Antigravity ecosystem starts with a high-quality, standardized structure. This skill prevents "thin" or "vague" skills from entering the codebase.

When to use this skill

• Immediately after a skill-evolution-proposal is approved
• When manually adding a new capability to the system
• When refactoring a large skill into smaller, focused ones

Scaffolding Steps

1. Create Directory: Establish the folder in either global_skills/ or .agent/skills/.
2. Generate frontmatter: Include name, description, triggers, outputs, and depends_on.
3. Draft SKILL.md: Use the standard sections: Purpose, When to Use, Instructions (Steps), Decision Tree, Review Checklist, and Feedback Guidelines.
4. Register for Audit: Trigger orchestrator-self-auditor to update the controller.

Decision Tree

Copyflowchart TD
    A[Start Generation] --> B{Approved Proposal?}
    B -->|No| C[Abort - Need Proposal]
    B -->|Yes| D{Skill Scope?}
    D -->|Global| E[Create in global_skills/]
    D -->|Workspace| F[Create in .agent/skills/]
    E --> G[Generate SKILL.md with decision tree]
    F --> G
    G --> H[Encourage --help for scripts]
    H --> I[Final Review]

Review Checklist

1. Focus: Does the new skill do exactly one thing?
2. Completeness: Are all 6 standard sections present in the SKILL.md?
3. Logic: Is there a Mermaid decision tree for complex paths?
4. Black Box Compliance: If scripts exist, is the --help instruction included?

How to provide feedback

• Be specific: "The generated skill is missing the 'How to provide feedback' section."
• Explain why: "Standardized feedback ensures the Agent provides actionable advice during development."
• Suggest alternatives: "Recommend re-running the generator with the '--template-v2' flag."

Generated skills must follow antigravity standards.
