Guide creation of a new GAAI skill following the agentskills.io spec and GAAI best practices.

  • Works in 7 steps: Name and classify → Define inputs and outputs explicitly → Write the SKILL.md frontmatter → …
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose / When to Activate, Prerequisites, Process and Quality Checks, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Create Skill is an agent skill from digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework. Guide creation of a new GAAI skill following the agentskills.io spec and GAAI best practices. Activate when adding a new skill to the .gaai/core/skills/ catalog.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

The repository describes itself as: Turns AI coding tools into reliable software delivery systems. Drop a .gaai/ folder into any project — Discovery defines what to build, Delivery executes autonomously until…

Example prompts

  • “/create-skill”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Name and classify
  2. Define inputs and outputs explicitly
  3. Write the SKILL.md frontmatter
  4. Write the skill body
  5. Create directory and file
  6. Update ALL relevant indices (MANDATORY)
  7. Reference in agent file

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a26ea7a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml and markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Create Skill loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 657 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 657 words (~1,700 tokens).
