Skill scaffold template: same shape, faster review, fewer broken CIs
blaizedsouza · x · 2026-09-30
A developer shares a scaffold practice for AI skill repos: blank folders let every skill invent its own layout and break CI, so each new skill starts from one template.
Checklist:
- Generate the folder from a template
- Include a contract file
- Include fixture tests
- Include a README stub
- Pin a default cheap model
- Ban skills that skip the scaffold
Core principle: same shape, faster review, fewer missing files. Pro tip: CI should fail if the owner field is empty.
