Pre-flight Connection Check (if the skill depends on an external tool)

Always run first. Verify connections before doing real work:

{
  "toolkits": ["googlecalendar", "gmail"],
  "session_id": "example-skill"
}

Result	Action
All connections Active	Proceed to Step 1
Required tool/MCP not available	Stop. Tell the user which connector to enable and where.
Any connection not active	Show auth URL. Retry once. If still failing, stop and report.

Workflow

Step 1: [First Step Name]

REPLACE: Describe what Claude should do in this step. Be specific, since Claude follows instructions literally. If the user passed an argument, it is available as $ARGUMENTS (matching the argument-hint in the frontmatter); use it here or remove the hint if the skill takes no argument.

Step 2: [Second Step Name]

REPLACE: Continue with subsequent steps.

Step 3: Present Output

• Parallelize tool calls wherever possible
• Always confirm intent before taking actions (sending messages, creating events)
• No speculation; only include information from actual data sources
