- Use the create-skill skill (Cursor’s built-in for authoring SKILL.md files).

- Run Opening a PR.
When in doubt, delete. Keep only prose that changes a decision. Tell it to do the thing and skip the reason. Explain only when the rule is confusing without one. Match tone to scope. Point at structural sources (types, READMEs, config) per the encode-lessons-in-structure principle skill. Delegate to other skills by path. Don’t restate. A workflow you keep hitting but isn’t captured → propose a new skill.
Reply: summary of the skill, key design decisions, validation notes.
