# Skill Standardization

## When to use this skill

- Creating new SKILL.md files following the standard template
- Converting existing skills with non-standard section headings
- Validating skill files against the project specification
- Batch processing multiple skill files for consistency
- Ensuring all skills have required sections (Examples, Best practices, References)

## Instructions

### Step 1: Run the conversion script

Execute the main conversion script to standardize all SKILL.md files:

```bash
cd /path/to/.agent-skills
python3 scripts/convert_skills.py
```

This script will:
- Convert Korean section headings to English
- Standardize frontmatter (add missing tags, platforms)
- Add missing required sections with templates

### Step 2: Remove duplicate sections

If files have duplicate sections after conversion:

```bash
python3 scripts/remove_duplicates.py
```

### Step 3: Final cleanup

For any remaining non-standard headings:

```bash
python3 scripts/final_cleanup.py
```

## Available Scripts

| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `convert_skills.py` | Main conversion script - handles section headings, frontmatter, missing sections |
| `remove_duplicates.py` | Removes duplicate Examples, Best practices, References sections |
| `final_cleanup.py` | Direct string replacement for remaining Korean headings |

## Section Heading Conversions

| Korean | English |
|--------|---------|
| `## 목적 (Purpose)` | `## Purpose` |
| `## 사용 시점 (When to Use)` | `## When to use this skill` |
| `## 작업 절차 (Procedure)` | `## Instructions` |
| `## 작업 예시 (Examples)` | `## Examples` |
| `## 베스트 프랙티스` | `## Best practices` |
| `## 참고 자료` | `## References` |
| `## 출력 포맷 (Output Format)` | `## Output format` |
| `## 제약사항 (Constraints)` | `## Constraints` |
| `## 메타데이터` | `## Metadata` |
| `### N단계:` | `### Step N:` |

## Examples

### Example 1: Convert a single file manually

```python
from pathlib import Path
import re

filepath = Path('backend/new-skill/SKILL.md')
content = filepath.read_text()

# Convert Korean to English
content = content.replace('## 베스트 프랙티스', '## Best practices')
content = content.replace('## 참고 자료', '## References')
content = re.sub(r'### (\d+)단계:', r'### Step \1:', content)

filepath.write_text(content)
```

### Example 2: Validate a skill file

```bash
# Check for required sections
grep -E "^## (When to use|Instructions|Examples|Best practices|References)" SKILL.md
```

## Best practices

1. **Run all three scripts in sequence** for complete standardization
2. **Review changes** before committing to ensure content wasn't lost
3. **Keep section content** - only headings are converted, not content
4. **Test with one file first** when making script modifications
