| 1 | # Development Skill DOX |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Purpose |
| 4 | |
| 5 | - Own the broad Agent Zero development guide used by agents extending the framework. |
| 6 | - Keep architecture, tools, extensions, API, agents, prompts, projects, plugins, runtime, and skills guidance in sync with the repository. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | ## Ownership |
| 9 | |
| 10 | - `SKILL.md` owns the concise development entry point, routing workflow, path conventions, and reference map. |
| 11 | - `references/` owns detailed source-grounded development references loaded on demand. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ## Local Contracts |
| 14 | |
| 15 | - Keep paths and examples current with source files and DOX contracts. |
| 16 | - Route plugin-specific tasks to the plugin router or specialist plugin skills. |
| 17 | - Do not duplicate long contracts that belong in narrower AGENTS.md files when a reference is enough. |
| 18 | - Reference files must identify current source or DOX anchors and avoid hardcoded default WebUI ports. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | ## Work Guidance |
| 21 | |
| 22 | - Update this skill after durable framework workflow, extension, tool, API, prompt, or profile changes. |
| 23 | - Keep examples operational and compatible with the current helper classes. |
| 24 | - Keep `SKILL.md` lean; move detailed schemas, examples, and topic-specific guidance to `references/`. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ## Verification |
| 27 | |
| 28 | - Manually read `SKILL.md` and changed reference files for stale architecture references, broken relative paths, and specialist-skill duplication. |
| 29 | - Load the skill after reference-map changes and confirm `skills_tool` exposes the expected reference file tree. |
