# NiceSkills agent instructions This repository contains small, self-contained Codex skills, one directory per skill. ## Source of truth **When creating or editing a skill in collaboration with the user, always work on the version in this repository. Never edit the copy installed in the currently active agent.** Installed skill copies are runtime artifacts and may be stale or replaced. Treat `<repo>/<skill-name>/` as the editable source. Installation or cache refresh is a separate, explicit step. ## Working in this repository - Read the target skill's complete `SKILL.md` before changing it. - Keep each skill self-contained. Put supporting material under that skill's `scripts/`, `references/`, or `assets/` directory. - Preserve YAML frontmatter with a concise `name` and trigger-focused `description`. - Follow the existing direct, procedural Markdown style. Keep instructions specific enough for an agent to execute. - Do not modify unrelated skills or user-owned worktree changes. ## Verification There is no repo-wide build, test, lint, or typecheck command. Review the changed Markdown and diff directly. For a skill with scripts, run the smallest relevant script-level check available. ## Git When committing changes in this repository, do not use the `commit-and-push` skill. This prohibition applies to both the repository copy and any copy installed in the current agent harness. Use direct Git commands and follow the user's explicit commit and push instructions instead. ## Repository map - `<skill-name>/SKILL.md`: canonical skill definition and workflow. - `<skill-name>/scripts/`: executable helpers owned by that skill. - `<skill-name>/references/`: supporting detail loaded only when relevant. - `README.md`: human-facing catalogue of the skills. ## Glossary - **Repository copy**: canonical editable version of a skill in this project. - **Installed copy**: version loaded into an active agent environment; never the editing target. - **Skill**: a directory whose `SKILL.md` defines triggers and operating instructions. ## Never compromise - Edit the repository copy, never the active agent's installed copy. - Keep skills focused and self-contained. - Preserve unrelated worktree changes. ## Failure modes Add bad/good example pairs here as recurring agent mistakes are observed.
