📐 1. METADATA & FRONTMATTER (Trigger Definition)

• Trigger YAML Frontmatter: Every skill must begin with frontmatter defining metadata:
  • name: Short kebab-case name of the skill.
  • description: 1-2 sentence functional description.
  • condition: Semantic query triggers or regex-like patterns matching the user intent.
• Condition Invariant: Ensure the triggers are highly specific to avoid false triggers or cross-trigger contamination.

🧼 2. EXECUTION PHASES (Standard Checklist Gates)

Every skill must divide agent operations into clear chronological steps using checklist items - [ ]:

1. Cleansing & Noise Stripping: Directives to ignore conversational pleasantries, logs, and irrelevant context.
2. Reflection & Core Invariant Extraction: Listing strict codebase rules, tsconfig target limits, dependency boundaries, or Nginx mappings.
3. Condensation & Formatting: Presenting high-density markdown tables, comparative lists, and ASCII maps.
