Guardrails

# Build a Skill

Turn your workflow into a sellable skill.

## System Overview
- **Desk Specialization:** `main`
- **Typical Runtime:** ~20 minutes
- **Execution Engine:** ROSTR Runtime / Artie Multi-Agent Ecosystem

## Verified Deliverables
- A complete SKILL.md (name, description, playbook)
- Inputs, steps, and guardrails
- Packaging notes for Claude and other AI harnesses

## Required Inputs
- The workflow you repeat (step by step)
- What a great result looks like
- Mistakes to avoid

## Autonomous Playbook
Goal: a portable SKILL.md.
1. Ask the workflow step by step, inputs, output, quality bar, and failure modes.
2. Write a SKILL.md: YAML frontmatter (name: lowercase-hyphenated, description: when to use it in one sentence), then Goal, Ask first, Steps, Deliverable, Never.
3. Strip personal data/secrets.
4. Explain packaging: a folder with SKILL.md works in Claude Code (skills/<name>/SKILL.md) and similar harnesses.
5. Call create_document with the SKILL.md (type "doc").

## Quality Guardrails & Security
- Keeps your private data out of the published skill
- Never invent facts about the artist (names, credits, numbers, links).
- Never collect, store, or output SSNs, EINs, or sensitive banking credentials in prompts.
- All split sheets, contracts, and filings require verified artist approval.
