Create and validate a skill

Ask your agent

Create a SelfTune-compatible skill for <goal>. First inspect nearby skills and
the supported skill format. Draft the smallest useful package, then use
SelfTune to verify its structure, routing, and behavior. Show me the report and
remaining gaps. Do not publish or install it globally without my approval.

Manual lifecycle

Create the draft

selftune create init \
  --name research-review \
  --description "Review research claims and cite primary sources"

Write representative tests

Include requests that should activate the skill, nearby requests that should not, and at least one realistic end-to-end task.

Verify the package

selftune verify --skill-path /path/to/research-review

Review any generated evidence before accepting it. Use --no-auto-fix when you want verification to report missing artifacts without creating them.

Review before distribution

Confirm the package contents, permissions, external tools, failure modes, and validation report. Publishing or global installation requires a separate approval.

Success criteria

The description states both capability and activation conditions.

Instructions define the result, important constraints, and failure behavior.

Positive, negative, and realistic tasks are represented.

Verification identifies the exact skill version it tested.

The package remains local until you approve publication or installation.
