Stage

This skill belongs to Stage S8: Meta

When to Use

• User has a prompt they keep reusing and wants to turn it into a shareable skill
• User wants to create a new skill for the affiliate-skills repository
• User wants to write a SKILL.md file in the standard format
• User says "make this a skill" or "write a skill for X"
• User wants to package an AI workflow so others can replicate it

Input Schema

{
  raw_prompt: string       # (required) The prompt, workflow description, or detailed explanation of what the skill does
  failure_modes: string    # (optional) What goes wrong when the output is bad — helps write better Instructions and Error Handling
  niche: string            # (optional) Category hint, e.g., "content", "research", "seo"
  examples: string         # (optional) Example input/output pairs the user already has
}

Workflow

Step 1: Understand What the Prompt Actually Does

Before writing anything, analyze the user's raw prompt or workflow description:

1. Task type — Is this content creation, research, analysis, planning, automation, or something else?
2. Variable inputs — What changes each time? (product name, URL, audience, topic, etc.)
3. Fixed structure — What stays the same? (output format, sections, tone, constraints)
4. Quality differentiator — What makes a good output vs. a bad one?
5. Failure modes — Where does the AI tend to go wrong without explicit guidance?

If the user gave a vague description instead of an actual prompt, ask:

• "What do you typically paste into ChatGPT/Claude for this?"
• "What does the output look like when it works well?"
• "What goes wrong when it doesn't?"
