SKILL.md

A specification gives an agent (or human) the context they need to implement a feature autonomously. The goal is NOT to describe everything exhaustively; it's to provide enough initial context that the implementer can do their own research and make informed decisions.

Note: This guide uses [PLACEHOLDER] markers for content you must fill in. Code blocks show templates; replace all bracketed content with your feature's details.

A good spec is a launching pad, not a script to follow.

Write technical specifications that give agents enough context to implement features while leaving room for autonomous research and decision-making. Use when planning features, documenting architecture decisions, or creating implementation guides. Source: epicenterhq/epicenter.
