Create skills/my-skill/SKILL.md:

---
name: my-skill
description: >
  What this skill does and when to use it.
disable-model-invocation: true
allowed-tools: Bash(dotnet *), Read, Glob, Grep

Frontmatter Fields

disable-model-invocation	No	Set true for manual-only skills
allowed-tools	No	Tool restrictions for this skill

Best Practices

• Use context: fork with agent: reviewer for read-only analysis skills
• Include step-by-step instructions with pass/fail criteria
• Use $ARGUMENTS to accept user input
