Skills

A skill is a directory below ~/.dotagen/skills/ with a required SKILL.md entry point. The directory name is the skill identifier.

~/.dotagen/skills/ds-release-check/
├── SKILL.md
└── references/
    └── checklist.md

SKILL.md may have YAML frontmatter such as name, description, and category. Every other file below the skill directory is collected as a reference and copied into the generated skill directory during sync.

# Release Check

Run the project's required build and test commands before release.

Skills are enabled independently from agents in the skills section of config.yaml. A platform without a skill adapter is skipped during sync; all eight current platform adapters implement skill support.
