# SKILL_TITLE
Brief statement of what this skill does and why it exists.
## Quick Start
Immediate guidance for the most common use case.
## Workflow
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Step one — what to do and why
2. Step two — expected output or validation
3. Step three — completion criteria
## Key Guidelines
- Guideline with reasoning (not just a rule)
- Another guideline — explain the tradeoff
## Gotchas
- Common mistake → what to do instead
- Non-obvious behavior → how to handle it
## Completion
What the skill leaves behind when it finishes, stated so the agent can check it.
## Conditional references (delete when the work is linear)
- Read `references/NAME.md` when [condition the request already settles].
