1## Activation Contract23Use this skill when creating or updating a reusable AI skill for Pi or another agent runtime.45Create a skill when:6- a workflow or convention is reused across sessions;7- generic agent behavior needs project-specific constraints;8- a decision tree helps the agent choose safely;9- examples, templates, or references would make future execution more reliable.1011Do not create a skill for a one-off task, generic documentation, or rules that belong in code/tests.1213## Hard Rules1415- Follow `docs/skill-style-guide.md` as the normative source for skill structure and style.16- A skill is an LLM runtime contract, not human-facing docs.17- Keep `SKILL.md` concise: target 180–450 tokens, max 1000.18- Use imperative instructions and concrete gates; avoid tutorials and background prose.19- Frontmatter `description` must be one physical YAML-safe line and include trigger words first.20- Do not add a `Keywords` section; put essential trigger words in `description`.21- Put templates, schemas, and generated examples in `assets/`.22- Put longer rationale or local doc links in `references/`.23- After changing project skills, refresh the registry with `/skill-registry:refresh` when available.2425## Decision Gates2627| Need | Action |28| --- | --- |29| Small reusable behavior | Create `skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md` only |30| Templates, schemas, fixtures | Add `skills/{skill-name}/assets/` |31| Longer explanation or edge cases | Add `skills/{skill-name}/references/` |32…
