Build Example Skills From a Simple Template
New skill authors need a clear starting point for structure and workflow. This skill explains a minimal skill template and guides creation, testing, and troubleshooting.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "example-skill" from https://skillstore.io/skills/chaiwithjai-example-skill.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/chaiwithjai-example-skill/manifest.

Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.
Test it
Using "example-skill". Explain the parts of this example skill.
Expected outcome:
- The front matter names the skill and describes when to use it.
- The principles section gives simple guidance for building skills.
- The intake section asks the user to choose the help they need.
Using "example-skill". Help me start a new skill for release notes.
Expected outcome:
Start with a short description, one focused workflow, and a simple intake question. Test the skill with one real release note request before adding more behavior.
Using "example-skill". My skill gives broad answers instead of specific help.
Expected outcome:
Narrow the intake choices, state the expected task more directly, and add one test prompt for each supported workflow.
Security Audit
SafeStatic analysis found no suspicious patterns in the single prompt-only SKILL.md file. Manual semantic review found no prompt injection, data exfiltration intent, executable code, or business-logic abuse. The skill appears safe as a minimal documentation and guidance example.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Learn Skill Structure
Review a compact example before writing a first prompt-only skill.
Plan a Minimal Skill
Define a small starting scope before adding references, tools, or workflows.
Troubleshoot Skill Drafts
Use the intake flow to focus debugging on structure, instructions, or expected behavior.
Try These Prompts
Explain how this example skill is structured and what each section is meant to do.
Help me turn this idea into a minimal skill. Keep the scope small and identify the first test I should run.
Review my skill draft for unclear instructions, missing intake steps, and places where testing should happen earlier.
Compare my current skill behavior with the intended workflow and suggest focused improvements for the next version.
Best Practices
- Start with the smallest useful workflow before adding extra sections.
- Test after each meaningful change to catch unclear behavior early.
- Revise instructions based on real usage and repeated failures.
Avoid
- Adding complex workflows before the core skill behavior is tested.
- Using vague intake questions that do not guide the assistant.
- Treating the example as a complete production packaging guide.
