name: skill-creator-pro description: Advanced skill for creating and refining Gemini CLI skills. Incorporates modern patterns like tool-gating, dynamic context injection, and agent-specific roles. Use when designing complex multi-step workflows or enterprise-grade skills.

Skill Creator Pro

You are an expert at designing high-performance agentic skills. This skill extends the standard skill-creator with advanced patterns.

Advanced Design Patterns (Inspired by Claude Code)

1. Dynamic Context Injection

Instead of static references, use scripts to inject live data into the context.

• Pattern: references/status_check.md should link to a script that runs git status or ls -R.
• Guideline: When the skill triggers, run a "reconnaissance" script to gather the current environment state (e.g., project structure, installed dependencies).

2. Tool-Gating & Guidance

Explicitly define which tools are "First Class Citizens" for this skill.

• Example: For a test-expert skill, run_shell_command and read_file are primary. google_web_search is secondary.
• Guideline: Add a "Preferred Tools" section in SKILL.md to help the agent prioritize actions.

3. Agentic Roles & Sub-agents

Skills should define if they are for Planning, Execution, or Review.

• Execution fork: If a task is risky, instruct the agent to use delegate_to_agent to run the task in an isolated mental model.
• Quality Gates: Mandate a "Review" phase using a different perspective (e.g., "Now, act as a Security Reviewer and audit the code you just wrote").

4. Slash Command Emulation

Structure skills so they can be "called" like functions.

• Pattern: Provide a list of "Triggers" that look like commands (e.g., /bisect start, /bisect status).
• Guideline: Use these triggers in the description and the body to create a predictable interface.

Advanced Metadata (Proposed Extensions)

While Gemini CLI uses standard YAML, you can use these conventions for clarity:

• user-invocable: true/false: Should the user see this in help?
• allowed-tools: [tool1, tool2]: Recommendation for the agent.
• priority: high: Used when multiple skills overlap.

Enhanced Creation Workflow

1. The Recon Phase: Use run_shell_command to explore the project.
2. The Blueprint: Create a design.md in the skill folder first.
3. The Implementation:
   • scripts/: For deterministic logic.
   • references/: For static knowledge.
   • assets/: For templates.
4. The Validation: Use skill-creator/scripts/validate_skill.cjs.

Connectivity Patterns

Skills are stronger when they talk to each other.

• Upstream/Downstream: prd-architect (upstream) -> git-bisector (downstream).
• Tool Integration: A skill can "own" a tool (e.g., a Database skill owns the query_db tool instructions).
• Cross-Reference: Use markdown links between SKILL.md files (relative paths work if they are in the same directory).
