Validation

Run the repository skill lint before publishing:

node scripts/lint-skills.mjs
node scripts/smoke-install-skills.mjs

The lint checks frontmatter, description length, linked references, forbidden internal URLs, common secret leaks, semantic guardrails for drift-prone claims, and extra drift against the neighboring ../core monorepo when it is present. The smoke test copies each skill into an isolated install directory and confirms standalone metadata and local references still resolve.

For the recommended private-source/public-publish workflow, see Keeping Runtype Skills in Sync.

Authoring a New Skill

Create a directory under skills/ with a SKILL.md file:

skills/
└── my-skill/
    ├── SKILL.md           # Required: frontmatter + instructions
    ├── scripts/           # Optional: executable helpers
    ├── references/        # Optional: API specs, schemas, docs
    └── examples/          # Optional: example inputs/outputs

SKILL.md format

---
name: my-skill
description: >-
  What it does and when to use it. Include trigger phrases.
  Max 1024 chars.
user-invocable: true
argument-hint: "[optional args hint]"
---

Instructions for the agent go here. Keep under 500 lines.
Move detailed reference material to references/ or scripts/.

Best practices

• Description: Use imperative phrasing ("Use when..."), include specific trigger phrases
• Size: Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines / 5,000 tokens
• Structure: Move API specs, schemas, and long docs to references/
• Scripts: Bundle reusable helpers in scripts/ instead of inlining
• No secrets: Never include API keys, internal URLs, or credentials
