1## Activation Contract23Create a skill when:4- A pattern is used repeatedly and AI needs guidance5- Project-specific conventions differ from generic best practices6- Complex workflows need step-by-step instructions7- Decision trees help AI choose the right approach89Do not create a skill when the pattern is trivial, one-off, or better served by normal documentation.1011## Hard Rules1213- When working in this repo, first follow `docs/skill-style-guide.md` as the normative source before creating or updating skills.14- For installed global skills, use `references/skill-style-guide.md` as the bundled local copy of that guide when `docs/skill-style-guide.md` is unavailable.15- If neither guide is available, use the compact inline rules below.16- A skill is a runtime instruction contract for an LLM, not human documentation.17- Do not add a `Keywords` section; preserve essential trigger words in `description`.18- References must point to local files.19- Keep the skill body concise: target 180–450 tokens, recommended max 700, hard max 1000.2021## Decision Gates2223| Need | Action |24|------|--------|25| Code templates, schemas, fixtures, generated examples | Put them in `assets/` |26| Conceptual detail, edge cases, existing docs | Put local links in `references/` |27| Long explanation in `SKILL.md` | Move it to a supporting file |28| Multiple meaningful paths | Add a compact decision table |2930## Execution Steps31…
