create-skill

SkillDev tools

Create a reusable skill (SKILL.md) that packages a workflow.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the create-skill skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by che-incubator/che-code in code/extensions/copilot/assets/prompts/skills/create-skill/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Related skill: agent-customization. Load and follow skills.md for template and principles.

Guide the user to create a SKILL.md.

Extract from Conversation

First, review the conversation history. If the user has been following a multi-step workflow or methodology (e.g., debugging approach, review checklist, implementation pattern), generalize that into a reusable skill. Extract:

  • The step-by-step process being followed
  • Decision points and branching logic
  • Quality criteria or completion checks

Clarify if Needed

If no clear workflow emerges from the conversation, clarify:

  • What outcome should this skill produce?
  • Workspace-scoped or personal?
  • Quick checklist or full multi-step workflow?

Iterate

  1. Draft the skill and save it.
  2. Identify the most ambiguous or weak parts and ask about those.
  3. Once finalized, summarize what the skill produces, suggest example prompts to try it, and propose related customizations to create next.

Remember to follow the agent-customization guidelines to create highly effective skills.
