Packaged my first skill for the community registry and got bounced twice — incomplete metadata, and the description never said when to use it.

FAQ
Q: How long should SKILL.md be?
A: Keep the body to one or two thousand words; push details into deeper reference files under a references folder and load them on demand. Context is a shared budget — the leaner the always-on part, the more room the task gets.
Q: What must I check before publishing to a registry?
A: At minimum: folder name matches the frontmatter name, the description says what it does and when to use it, no stray files like README, and a runnable example included. Publish-style skills run these checks for you.
Q: How do I know if a skill is well designed?
A: Three tests: precise triggering (fires when it should), stable output (same input, same structure), easy maintenance (change one scenario without rewriting everything).
Q: Is it OK to borrow patterns from other skills?
A: Most community skills use permissive licenses and borrowing structural ideas is fine. Before copying code or copy text, check the original repo's LICENSE and keep attribution.
Q: What's the right way to iterate an old skill?
A: Change one variable at a time — say, only the description — run a regression pass with a skill tester, and log the version. Big-bang rewrites make it impossible to tell which change helped.
Q: Do published skills need maintenance?
A: Yes. Model upgrades and dependency changes can quietly break old skills. Keep a feedback channel open and re-run checks periodically — reputation is earned through maintenance.
