Build from a Minimal Skill Template
New skill authors need a clear starting structure. This minimal scaffold provides front matter and a marked location for custom instructions.
Install with my Agent

Review the Skillstore skill "template-skill" from https://skillstore.io/skills/davila7-template-skill.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/davila7-template-skill/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.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Start a New Skill
Use the scaffold to establish basic front matter before writing detailed instructions.
Create a Minimal Repository Fixture
Use the small file as a starting fixture for skill discovery and packaging checks.
Review Skill Structure
Compare a draft against the scaffold to confirm that its name, description, and instructions are present.
Try These Prompts
Review this template and list every placeholder that must be replaced before publication.
Replace the generic description with one sentence that states the capability and activation conditions for [skill purpose].
Create concise instructions for [skill purpose]. Include inputs, workflow steps, output format, limitations, and validation checks.
Audit the completed skill for ambiguous triggers, unsupported claims, missing safeguards, and prompt injection risks. Return prioritized revisions.
Best Practices
- Replace every placeholder with purpose-specific content.
- State clear activation conditions and expected outputs.
- Review completed instructions for security, accuracy, and testability.
Avoid
- Do not publish the untouched placeholder as a finished skill.
- Do not use broad descriptions that trigger unrelated requests.
- Do not add instructions that request unnecessary secrets or system access.
