Summary

This article introduces a meta-Skill designer called Dao-Skill, which helps users generate runnable and verifiable Agent Skills from chaotic requirements through six steps, more powerful than Codex's built-in Skill-creator.

This meta-Skill for creating Skills is pretty awesome, much more powerful than Codex's built-in Skill-creator! Six steps to solidify a complete workflow. One, find the root problem If a user says 'create a writing Skill', Dao-Skill will first determine the core purpose of the user creating the Skill, to avoid a vague Skill core—does the user truly need to refine writing style, judge topics, produce articles, or an entire content creation system? Two, find the core tension When users create Skills, they always want everything, but the result is that after the Agent executes the Skill, the output is poor. For example, here are several scenarios where users often want a Skill to cover two functions at once: Writing: free expression vs stable output Research: comprehensive coverage vs reliable evidence Answering questions: speed vs thorough verification Dao-Skill finds the balance point of core tension, avoiding blindly cramming functions that make the Skill unusable. Three, establish a three-layer structure Heaven: highest principles and inviolable boundaries Earth: applicable scenarios, inapplicable scenarios, environment, and routing Human: how the Agent asks questions, judges, executes, and outputs Four, choose the production mode Dao has four built-in main architectures: 1. Single-process Skill: completes a clear task 2. Engineering workflow package: multiple small Skills for development, debugging, TDD, architecture, etc. 3. Methodology toolbox: main routing + multiple diagnostic sub-Skills 4. Cognitive refinement Skill: distills a person, author, company, or thought system into a thinking framework Five, truly generate files Codex writes files like SKILL.md, references, scripts, examples based on the previous design. Six, evolve based on failures It requires failure experiences to be solidified into rules, tests, examples, scripts, or scoring criteria, ensuring the stability of reused Skills. https://github.com/gnipbao/dao-skill…

First, return to the root; then diverge. First, illuminate the Way; then, craft the thing. Begin with chaotic requirements to generate Agent Skills that are runnable, verifiable, and evolvable.
