# Writing Nebu Skills
Two modes: (1) create or revise skills that improve agent judgment, (2) capture reusable workflow gaps observed during sessions.
## Creating skills
### Design rules
1. The description says **when to use**, not how the skill works.
2. Keep common skills short enough that loading them is worth it.
3. Prefer one clear pattern over a long manifesto.
4. Add support files only when the main file would become reference-heavy.
5. Make autonomous progress the default when the goal is clear.
6. General skills should not hardcode branded artifact trees or repo-local folder conventions.
7. Encode hard gates only for failures that are expensive and common.
### Design test
- What mistake will the model make without this skill?
- What is the smallest guidance that prevents that mistake?
- Does this skill help discovery, or does it just add ceremony?
## Capturing workflow improvements
When agent behavior reveals a reusable gap:
1. State observed gap: what was missed, guessed, repeated, or done too late.
2. Propose smallest durable fix: skill text, router hint, plugin behavior, or issue-flow guidance.
3. Prefer updating an existing skill over creating a new one.
4. If implementing immediately, still create or reuse a tracking issue in the skill-pack source repo.
5. If not implementing now, create follow-up issue with evidence and concrete proposed fix.
### Hooks
1. After review or verification, check whether session exposed reusable workflow gap.
2. If yes, lo
