Description Optimization

The frontmatter description is the trigger surface. It should say what the skill does and when to use it.

Should-trigger set

Write 3 to 6 queries that should load the skill. Confirm the description contains the user's likely nouns and verbs.

Examples:

  • "Create a new skill for PDF cleanup."
  • "Update this skill to add a safer validation flow."
  • "Turn these docs into a reusable agent workflow."

Should-not-trigger set

Write 3 to 6 nearby queries that should not load the skill. Remove vague words that over-trigger.

Examples:

  • "Explain what skills are at a high level."
  • "Install an existing skill."
  • "Run a one-off command that does not need a reusable workflow."

Precision rules

  • Put domain, artifact, and action words in the first sentence.
  • Avoid generic descriptions like "helps with productivity."
  • Include major variants only if the skill really supports them.
  • Keep the description compact enough to scan.
