Step 1: Gather Requirements

Ask targeted questions to understand the skill's purpose. Avoid overwhelming—start with essentials:

Required Information

1. Primary Purpose: "What should this skill help accomplish?"
2. Trigger Scenarios: "What would a user say or do that should activate this skill?"
3. Concrete Examples: "Give me 2-3 specific examples of how you'd use this skill."

Contextual Questions (as needed)

• Input/Output Format: "What input does the skill receive? What should it produce?"
• Degree of Freedom: "Should the output be strictly formatted or flexible?"
• External Dependencies: "Does this require specific tools, APIs, or file types?"
• Domain Knowledge: "Is there specialized knowledge the skill needs?"

Conclude Step 1 When

You can describe:

• 3+ concrete usage examples
• Clear trigger conditions
• Expected input/output patterns
• Any special requirements or constraints
