MD Generation Standard

Description

Define universal writing standards, format specifications, and quality requirements for all .md files. All writer agents must follow these when generating files.

Users

  • agent-writer: Follow when writing agent .md files
  • skill-writer: Follow when writing skill .md files
  • rule-writer: Follow when writing rule .md files

Universal Format Specifications

YAML Frontmatter

All .md files must begin with YAML frontmatter in the following format:

Agent files:

---
name: {Agent name, English}
description: {One sentence description}
model: {opus | sonnet | haiku}
---

Skill files:

---
name: {Skill name, English}
description: {One sentence description}
---

Rule files:

---
name: {Rule name, English}
description: {One sentence description}
---

File Naming

  • Use kebab-case: content-reviewer.md, not contentReviewer.md or content_reviewer.md
  • Name should directly reflect the core function of the role/skill/rule
  • Keep concise, typically 2-4 words

Document Structure

  • First line must be # Title (h1), entire file can only have one h1
  • Use ## (h2) as main section headings
  • Use ### (h3) as subsection headings
  • Do not use h4 or below, avoid excessive nesting

Language Specifications

  • Content should match the user's language preference
  • Technical terms may remain in English (e.g., agent, skill, rule, PR, CI/CD, API)
  • Technical terms may have explanation in user's language on first occurrence, then use English directly
  • Instructional content uses imperative sentences ("You must..." not "should...")

Path References

  • Use relative paths when referencing other files
  • Skill path format: skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md
  • Agent path format: agents/{group}/{agent-name}.md
  • Rule path format: rules/{rule-name}.md
  • Example: skills/structured-interview/SKILL.md

Quality Checklist

Each .md file must pass before delivery:

  • File begins with correctly formatted YAML frontmatter (including name and description, agents additionally include model)
  • File has exactly one h1 heading
  • All referenced file paths actually exist
  • No vague words like "try to", "appropriately", "reasonably" (unless followed by judgment criteria)
  • Single file does not exceed 300 lines
  • No duplicate descriptions of content already covered in other files
