Create Better Agent Skills

Agent skills often fail because their triggers, structure, or tests are unclear. This skill provides templates, standards, and review guidance for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.

Install with my Agent

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

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "writing-skills" from https://skillstore.io/skills/sickn33-writing-skills.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/sickn33-writing-skills/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 "writing-skills". I need a skill for debugging flaky async tests.

Expected outcome:

Recommended structure: a Tier 1 technique skill. Include symptoms such as timeout and race condition, then add before-and-after examples.

Using "writing-skills". My skill is not loaded when users ask relevant questions.

Expected outcome:

Likely issue: discovery metadata is too broad or workflow-focused. Rewrite the description to start with Use when and include exact symptoms.

Using "writing-skills". I want a strict TDD skill that agents cannot bypass.

Expected outcome:

Use a discipline skill. Add explicit no-exception rules, a rationalization table, red flags, and tests under time pressure.

Most static findings are false positives from Markdown examples, inline code, and documented configuration paths. The bundled Graphviz helper uses hardcoded commands and visible file writes, with no evidence of command injection, exfiltration, persistence, or prompt-injection text. A semantic concern remains because the skill teaches dual-use persuasion techniques for increasing agent compliance.

Dual-use Agent Compliance Persuasion Guidance
The skill teaches authors to use persuasion principles, strong authority language, and commitment framing to increase AI agent compliance. It includes ethical cautions, but the guidance could be adapted to override agent judgment outside user-approved quality workflows.
The cited files explicitly describe compliance-increasing persuasion techniques and also provide ethical boundaries. Confidence is high for dual-use content but lower than malicious because the stated purpose is quality enforcement.

What You Can Build

Create a New Skill

Use the decision tree and templates to draft a focused skill with clear triggers and structure.

Improve Skill Discovery

Rewrite descriptions, tags, and metadata so agents load the right skill at the right time.

Standardize Team Skills

Apply shared naming, testing, and documentation rules across a team skill library.

Try These Prompts

Choose a Skill Structure 
Help me choose the right structure for a new agent skill. It covers [scope], uses [tools], and needs [references].
Draft Skill Metadata 
Create metadata for a skill about [topic]. Include a Use when description, trigger keywords, category, and concise name.
Review a Skill Draft 
Review this skill draft for clarity, trigger quality, file structure, and agent compliance risks. Suggest concrete edits.
Design Skill Tests 
Create realistic tests for this agent skill. Include success cases, failure cases, rationalization pressure, and expected behavior.

Best Practices

  • Start descriptions with clear trigger conditions instead of workflow summaries.
  • Move detailed references out of SKILL.md and load them only when needed.
  • Test skills with realistic prompts that include ambiguity and deadline pressure.

Avoid

  • Writing long monolithic skills that consume context before details are needed.
  • Using generic names or descriptions that do not match real user symptoms.
  • Adding strict rules without testing how agents rationalize around them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this skill help me create?
It helps create and improve agent skills with clear triggers, structure, templates, and tests.
Does it support Claude Code and Codex?
Yes. The guidance is general enough for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code skill workflows.
Does it write the whole skill for me?
It provides templates and review criteria. You still need to supply the domain knowledge and examples.
When should I use Tier 2 or Tier 3 references?
Use them when one file is not enough, or when the skill needs multiple related reference areas.
Why does it discuss anti-rationalization?
Some skills enforce strict behavior. This guidance helps close loopholes before agents ignore the rule.
Does the included script run automatically?
No. The Graphviz helper runs only when a user explicitly executes the script.
