| 1 | # Bundled Skills DOX |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Purpose |
| 4 | |
| 5 | - Own bundled Agent Zero skills and their agent-facing instructions. |
| 6 | - Keep skill workflows accurate, composable, and safe for runtime loading. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | ## Ownership |
| 9 | |
| 10 | - Each direct skill directory owns its `SKILL.md` and any local supporting files. |
| 11 | - Plugin-distributed skills belong under the relevant plugin directory. |
| 12 | - User-local skills belong under `usr/skills/`. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ## Local Contracts |
| 15 | |
| 16 | - Every skill directory must include a `SKILL.md`. |
| 17 | - Skill instructions must be operational and scoped to the skill's purpose. |
| 18 | - Do not include secrets, private user data, or environment-specific credentials. |
| 19 | - Supporting files referenced by a skill must exist relative to that skill directory. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## Work Guidance |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - Keep skills focused on repeatable workflows that agents should actively follow. |
| 24 | - Prefer updating an existing skill over creating overlapping skill variants. |
| 25 | - When a skill refers to repository paths, commands, or plugin architecture, keep those references current with source and docs. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | ## Verification |
| 28 | |
| 29 | - Run skill runtime/import tests after changing skill loading assumptions or skill format. |
| 30 | - Manually read changed `SKILL.md` files for broken relative references. |
