CraftBot Skill Creator

Author a reusable skill from one completed task. The handler that spawned this task already gathered everything you need into a single markdown file — read it, generalise it, write the new skill, send the user a one-message summary, end the task. The handler has already posted "Creating skill <name>…" in chat for you, so do not duplicate that message. Your only chat message is the final presentation right before end_turn. Do not iterate with test cases. Do not run subagents.

What you receive

Your task instruction contains five lines (the two paths are absolute — pass them verbatim to read_file / write_file, do NOT prepend or modify any prefix):

Source file (read this — absolute path, use verbatim): <absolute path to SKILL_SOURCE_<id>.md>
Target file (write the new SKILL.md here — absolute path, use verbatim): <absolute path to skills/<name>/SKILL.md>
Mode: create
Skill name: <kebab-case-name>

⚠️ Do not invent your own path for the target file. The handler has already placed it at the correct location under the project's skills/ directory; using the literal value of Target file: puts the SKILL.md where the framework will discover it. A common mistake is generalising the source's agent_file_system/ prefix onto the target — that lands the new skill in the wrong directory and CraftBot will never see it.

SKILL_SOURCE_<task_id>.md has YAML frontmatter (mode, target_skill, source_task_id, generated_at) and these body sections, in order:

• ## Task name — the short task title shown in the action panel. Treat this as a one-line summary of what the user wanted, not a verbatim instruction (the original instruction is not retained on disk after the source task ends).
• ## Outcome — status, created/ended timestamps, the skills the source task had attached, and any internal workflow_id.
• ## Action trace — every action and reasoning item the source agent emitted, in order, with input, output, error, and duration. This is your primary evidence — it is the durable record of what actually happened, kept in actions.db.
