Scaffold a new ralvaskills skill per SPECS.md — SKILL.md skeleton, optional STACK/RECIPES, folder placement, SPECS updates. Interview-first; never guesses. Use when authoring a new skill or invoking /skill-builder.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill Builder
Meta-skill that scaffolds new skills under `skills/<category>/<skill-name>/` following [SPECS.md](../../../docs/SPECS.md). Generates structure; hands off content authoring. Templates and the full validation checklist live in [RECIPES.md](RECIPES.md).
## 1. When to invoke
- User says "let's create a new skill", "scaffold a skill", "I want to add a `<topic>-architect`", or invokes `/skill-builder`.
- User wants to verify whether an existing folder structure matches the conventions.
- User wants to move / rename a skill and needs the SPECS updates handled correctly.
## 2. Source of truth
**SPECS.md is canonical.** This skill cites and applies the rules; it does not redefine them. Sections it enforces:
- **Skill Authoring Guide** — SKILL.md format, STACK.md format, naming convention, description quality, supporting files (`UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.md`).
- **Repository & Folder Structure** — discovery rule (folder with `SKILL.md` is terminal; nested SKILL.md forbidden), category placement, personal-skills path-segment rule.
- **Which Skills Need a `STACK.md`** — heuristic table by parent folder; per-skill exceptions allowed.

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
