Agent Skills Repository

Amolith's collection of Agent Skills—markdown-based documentation that extends AI agent capabilities through a standardized format.

Repository Structure

Each directory under skills/ is a skill. A skill's directory name must match its name frontmatter field.

skills/skill-name/
├── SKILL.md          # Required: YAML frontmatter + markdown instructions
├── references/       # Optional: additional documentation loaded on-demand
├── scripts/          # Optional: executable code
└── assets/           # Optional: templates, resources

Creating/Editing Skills

The skills/authoring-skills/ directory has the necessary info for, well, authoring skills.

Naming Convention

Two categories of skills exist:

  • Generic capability skills (formatting-commits): Use specific tools to accomplish general tasks. Tool name omitted from skill name.
  • Service workflow skills (creating-tasks-through-lunatask): Workflows for specific proprietary services. Service name included via -through-{service} suffix.

Design Principles

  1. Progressive disclosure: Frontmatter loads at startup; SKILL.md body loads on activation; references/ load on-demand
  2. Conciseness over completeness: Every token competes for context window space
  3. Appropriate freedom: Match instruction specificity to task fragility (see skills/authoring-skills/references/patterns.md)
