Alibaba Cloud Skill Creator

Repository-specific skill engineering workflow for alicloud-skills.

Use this skill when

  • Creating a new skill under skills/**.
  • Importing an external skill and adapting it to this repository.
  • Updating skill trigger quality (name and description in frontmatter).
  • Adding or fixing smoke tests under tests/**.
  • Running structured benchmark loops before merge.

Do not use this skill when

  • The user only needs to execute an existing product skill.
  • The task is purely application code under apps/ with no skill changes.

Repository constraints (must enforce)

  • Skills live under skills/<domain>/<subdomain>/<skill-name>/.
  • Skill folder names use kebab-case and should start with alicloud-.
  • Every skill must include SKILL.md frontmatter with name and description.
  • skills/**/SKILL.md content must stay English-only.
  • Smoke tests must be in tests/<domain>/<subdomain>/<skill-name>-test/SKILL.md.
  • Generated evidence goes to output/<skill-or-test-skill>/ only.
  • If skill inventory changes, refresh README index with scripts/update_skill_index.sh.

Standard deliverable layout

skills/<domain>/<subdomain>/<skill-name>/
├── SKILL.md
├── agents/openai.yaml
├── references/
│   └── sources.md
└── scripts/ (optional)

tests/<domain>/<subdomain>/<skill-name>-test/
└── SKILL.md

Workflow

1) Capture intent

  • Confirm domain/subdomain and target skill name.
  • Confirm whether this is new creation, migration, or refactor.
  • Confirm expected outputs and success criteria.

2) Implement skill changes

  • For new skills: scaffold structure and draft SKILL.md + agents/openai.yaml.
  • For migration from external repo: copy full source tree first, then adapt.
  • Keep adaptation minimal but explicit:
  • Replace environment-specific instructions that do not match this repo.
  • Add repository validation and output discipline sections.
  • Keep reusable bundled resources (scripts/, references/, assets/).

3) Add smoke test

  • Create or update tests/**/<skill-name>-test/SKILL.md.
  • Keep it minimal, reproducible, and low-risk.
  • Include exact pass criteria and evidence location.

4) Validate locally

Run script compile validation for the skill:

python3 tests/common/compile_skill_scripts.py \
  --skill-path skills/<domain>/<subdomain>/<skill-name> \
  --output output/<skill-name>-test/compile-check.json

Refresh skill index when inventory changed:

scripts/update_skill_index.sh

Confirm index presence:

rg -n "<skill-name>" README.md README.zh-CN.md README.zh-TW.md

Optional broader checks:

make test
make build-cli

5) Benchmark loop (optional, for major skills)

If the user asks for quantitative skill evaluation, reuse bundled tooling:

  • scripts/run_eval.py
  • scripts/aggregate_benchmark.py
  • eval-viewer/generate_review.py

Prefer placing benchmark artifacts in a sibling workspace directory and keep per-iteration outputs.

Definition of done

  • Skill path and naming follow repository conventions.
  • Frontmatter is complete and trigger description is explicit.
  • Test skill exists and has objective pass criteria.
  • Validation artifacts are saved under output/.
  • README skill index is refreshed if inventory changed.

References

  • references/schemas.md
  • references/sources.md
