Arguments

The user invoked this with: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

When this skill is invoked:

  1. Parse the arguments provided by the user
  2. Perform the requested action using allowed tools
  3. Report results back to the user

Frontmatter Options Reference

  • name: Skill identifier (matches directory name)
  • description: Short description shown in /help
  • argument-hint: Hints for command arguments shown to user
  • allowed-tools: Pre-approved tools for this skill (reduces permission prompts)
  • model: Override the model (e.g., "haiku", "sonnet", "opus")
