Common patterns: + +**1. Workflow-Based** (best for sequential processes) +- Works well when there are clear step-by-step procedures +- Example: DOCX skill with "Workflow Decision Tree" → "Reading" → "Creating" → "Editing" +- Structure: ## Overview → ## Workflow Decision Tree → ## Step 1 → ## Step 2... + +**2. Task-Based** (best for tool collections) +- Works well when the skill offers different operations/capabilities +- Example: PDF skill with "Quick Start" → "Merge PDFs" → "Split PDFs" → "Extract Text" +- Structure: ## Overview → ## Quick Start → ## Task Category 1 → ## Task Category 2... + +**3. Reference/Guidelines** (best for standards or specifications) +- Works well for brand guidelines, coding standards, or requirements +- Example: Brand styling with "Brand Guidelines" → "Colors" → "Typography" → "Features" +- Structure: ## Overview → ## Guidelines → ## Specifications → ## Usage... + +**4. Capabilities-Based** (best for integrated systems) +- Works well when the skill provides multiple interrelated features +- Example: Product Management with "Core Capabilities" → numbered capability list +- Structure: ## Overview → ## Core Capabilities → ### 1. Feature → ### 2. Feature... + +Patterns can be mixed and matched as needed.
