Create DocEngineering Skills From a Template

Building a reusable AI skill can create inconsistent instructions and weak validation. This template gives Claude, Codex, and Claude Code a structured workflow for skill creation.

Supports: Claude Codex Code(CC)
📊 75 Adequate

Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "skill-template" from https://skillstore.io/skills/64andrewwalker-skill-template.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/64andrewwalker-skill-template/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Agent-readable resources

Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.

Test it

Using "skill-template". Create a skill for release note writing.

Expected outcome:

A skill outline with focused instructions, supported tools, verification steps, and release note output expectations.

Using "skill-template". Check whether my customized skill is ready for review.

Expected outcome:

  • A readiness summary covering metadata, allowed tools, workflow clarity, and validation coverage.
  • A short blocker list for missing inputs or failed checks.

Using "skill-template". Add a self-test to the template.

Expected outcome:

A simple validation plan that runs the existing entrypoint and reports pass or blocked status.

Security Audit

Safe
v6 • 7/4/2026 Open versioned report

All five static findings are false positives caused by Markdown inline code formatting, not executable shell calls. I found no prompt injection, data exfiltration, or hidden execution intent in SKILL.md or scripts/run.py. The template declares Python Bash access, but the reviewed content uses it only for a simple self-test entrypoint.

What You Can Build

Bootstrap a New Skill

Start from a documented folder structure before adding domain instructions, assets, and validation scripts.

Standardize Agent Workflow

Give contributors a shared scout, analyze, execute, and verify process for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.

Teach Skill Design

Use the template to explain manifests, allowed tools, output rules, and failure handling.

Try These Prompts

Create a Basic Skill 
Use this template to create a basic documentation skill. Ask for missing inputs before changing files.
Customize the Workflow 
Adapt this skill template for my workflow. Update the scout, analyze, execute, and verify steps for the domain.
Add Validation Gates 
Extend this template with validation gates, expected outputs, and failure handling for a production skill.
Prepare for Marketplace Review 
Review this customized skill against marketplace expectations. Identify missing metadata, risky tools, and unclear instructions.

Best Practices

  • Replace placeholder instructions with a narrow workflow for one clear domain.
  • Keep allowed tools limited to the commands needed by the finished skill.
  • Run the self-test and domain validation before publishing the skill.

Avoid

  • Publishing the template unchanged as a finished user workflow.
  • Adding broad shell access without a clear validation requirement.
  • Skipping output rules and leaving users to infer the result format.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this skill help me build?
It helps authors create structured DocEngineering skills with clear instructions, validation steps, and failure handling.
Is this a finished workflow?
No. It is a starting template that needs domain instructions, assets, and tests before production use.
Which AI tools does it support?
The report lists support for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.
Does it run external commands?
The skill declares Python Bash access, and the included script only provides a simple self-test entrypoint.
What should I customize first?
Start with the skill description, domain workflow, expected output format, and validation checks.
Can teams use it for standards?
Yes. Teams can use it to standardize manifests, allowed tools, workflow steps, and review expectations.
