I'll help you build the proposed SKILL.md files based on the improvement proposal. Let me start with the first few skills to establish a consistent format, then we can continue with the rest.

Monitor and interpret guiding performance (PHD2 or NINA's built-in guider) — RMS error, guide graph shape, dither behavior, guide-star loss/recovery, and correlation between guiding quality and resulting subframe elongation. Use for "how's guiding tonight", "why are stars elongated", "is the guide RMS okay", "did…
Evaluate captured subframes and autofocus runs from N.I.N.A. — HFR (half-flux radius) trends, star count, eccentricity/roundness, background/gradient level, autofocus curve quality, and accept/reject decisions for individual subs. Use for "check the last few frames", "why did autofocus fail", "is this sub usable"…
Apply lunar altitude/illumination/separation "smart filter" logic to decide which filters or targets are moon-safe right now or for a given time window — e.g. gating broadband (LRGB) imaging while allowing narrowband (Ha/OIII/SII), or deciding when moon rise/set makes a filter switch worthwhile mid-session. Use for…
Read-only monitoring and reporting on N.I.N.A. Target Scheduler progress — how far along each project/target/filter is, pace vs. expected completion, tonight's plan preview, and historical review of what actually got imaged vs planned. Use for "how's the M31 project doing", "what's scheduled for tonight", "are we on…
Configure and edit N.I.N.A.'s Target Scheduler plugin — projects, targets, exposure plans, priorities, scheduling rules (e.g. moon avoidance, altitude/horizon constraints, meridian preferences), and multi-night acquisition strategy. Use whenever the task is about deciding WHAT the scheduler should do across nights (as…
Build, edit, validate, and dry-run N.I.N.A. (Nighttime Imaging 'N' Astronomy) Advanced Sequencer templates and running sequences via the NINA MCP. Use this whenever the task involves creating a new imaging sequence, adding/reordering sequence instructions or triggers or conditions, converting a target list into a…
Recommend astrophotography targets for tonight or an upcoming run, given current altitude/visibility, moon phase and position, weather forecast, equipment (focal length/sensor/filters), and the operator's existing project backlog. Use for "what should I image tonight", "suggest a target", "what's well-placed right…
Monitor weather station data (temperature, humidity/dew point, wind, cloud cover/sky quality, rain) and NINA's safety monitor status, and reason about imaging go/no-go decisions, roof/dome close triggers, dew heater needs, and forecast-based session planning. Use for "what's the weather doing", "is it safe to keep…
