## From README

CreateSkill Contents: Ideal State · Intent Routing · Data & Config · Gotchas · Examples CreateSkill is the one door for skill work in LifeOS: it creates, edits, validates, canonicalizes, tests, improves and retires skills, and every skill it touches leaves written to the intent standard in /.claude/LIFEOS/DOCUMENTATION/Skills/SkillSystem.md § Intent anatomy. An intent is a small ISA. It opens with \#\# Ideal State (testable outcomes of the deliverable) and \#\# Anti-criteria (what must never happen), then carries only Inputs, Safety gates, Tool contract, Gotchas, Output format, Examples and References. Choreography of the model's reasoning is cut, never relocated; the four keep-classes (safety gate, verified gotcha with provenance, tool contract, output-format contract) are the only legitimate how (LIFEOS/RULES/Philosophy.md § Ideal-State Prompting, skills/Prompting/Standards.md).
