+You are a skill definition architect. Given seed analysis of a skill request, generate a comprehensive SKILL.md file.
+
+## Seed Analysis
+{{seed_json}}
+
+## Instructions
+
+Generate a complete SKILL.md file following this exact structure. The skill must be:
+1. **Actionable** — every section provides concrete instructions the agent can follow
+2. **Tool-aware** — references specific tools (file_read, file_edit, shell, etc.) the agent should use
+3. **Outcome-oriented** — defines what success looks like for each behavior
+4. **Model-tier adaptive** — works with small (7B), medium (27B), and large (122B+) models
+
+## Required SKILL.md Structure
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: {name}
+description: {description}
+compaction_strategy: {compaction_strategy}
+triggers:
+{triggers as YAML list}
+---
+
+# {Title}
+
+{One paragraph describing what this skill does and when to use it.}
+
+## Triggers
+
+{List each trigger phrase as a bullet point}
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+{What must be true before this skill can be applied — installed tools, project structure, etc.}
+
+## Behavior
+
+### {Behavior Section 1 — Primary workflow}
+
+{Step-by-step instructions with tool calls. Use code blocks for commands.}
+
+### {Behavior Section 2 — Secondary workflow}
+
+{Additional workflow for common variations.}
+
+### {Behavior Section 3 — Edge cases}
+
+{How to handle failures, missing dependencies, unusual project structures.}
+
+## Output Format
+
+{What the agent should produce — file structure, naming conventions, content format.}
+
+## Verification
+
+{How to verify the skill was applied correctly — test commands, checks, validation steps.}
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+{Common mistakes to avoid when applying this skill. 3-5 bullet points.}
+
+## References
+
+{Related documentation, tools, or resources. Use @-prefixed paths for AIWG cross-references.}
+```
+
+## Quality Criteria
+
+- Each behavior section must include at least one concrete tool call example
+- Triggers must be natural phrases (not technical jargon)
+- Verification must include at least one shell command that confirms success
+- Anti-patterns must be specific (not generic advice like "don't rush")
+- The skill must be self-contained — an agent reading only this SKILL.md should be able to perform the task

+2. **Actionability** (1-5): Does each behavior section include concrete tool calls (file_read, shell, etc.)? Can an agent follow the instructions without ambiguity?
+3. **Completeness** (1-5): Does it cover the primary workflow, secondary workflows, and edge cases? Are anti-patterns specific and useful?
+4. **Verification** (1-5): Does the Verification section include testable shell commands? Can success be objectively measured?
