JIRA: https://webflow.atlassian.net/browse/DEVPL-4732

Why

Make it easy for both internal and external contributors to build skills correctly, and cut the recurring "how do I write a skill?" churn. Codifies the guidance Virat shared in the #webflow-skills thread (Anthropic's Complete Guide to Building Skills for Claude + the skill-creator skill) into the repo.

Approach — one source of truth, reached from every surface

  • CONTRIBUTING.md (canonical): new "Designing skills (start here)" section — human-facing and GitHub-surfaced, so it reaches external contributors who never open agent config files.
  • CLAUDE.md (the real file; AGENTS.md symlinks to it): a thin pointer to that section so agents route to the same doc — no duplicated content to drift.
  • README.md: new Contributing section linking CONTRIBUTING.md (the README had no contributing link at all — the main external discoverability gap).

Substance lives in one place; the agent path and the README front door both point to it.

Notes

  • Edited CLAUDE.md only; AGENTS.md stays a symlink (CI requires it), so both stay in sync automatically.
  • Docs-only; no skills added or changed. CI here is structural (required files + SKILL.md frontmatter), unaffected.
  • Filed under DEVPL pending a clearer Scale Pillar project.

…urce of truth

Make it easy for internal and external contributors to build skills correctly
and reduce churn on "how do I write a skill?"

- CONTRIBUTING.md: new "Designing skills (start here)" section (Anthropic skill
  guide + skill-creator) — the single source of truth
- CLAUDE.md: point authors at that section (AGENTS.md symlinks to CLAUDE.md; no
  duplicated content)
- README.md: add a Contributing section linking CONTRIBUTING.md (README had no
  contributing link)
