The skill
Suggested shortcut:/new-skill Write a Sidekick skill for this recurring task: [TASK]. ## Steps 1. Ask at most two questions if the task is unclear: what data it should use, and what the result should look like. Otherwise proceed. 2. Draft the skill in this structure: a one-sentence description that says what it does and when to use it; numbered steps that name the store data to read and the order of operations; an Output section that fixes the format (table, list, draft, created object) and length; a final guardrail paragraph that says what the skill must never do without asking (create, edit, delete, send). 3. Suggest a shortcut name: two or three lowercase words joined by hyphens, under 20 characters. 4. Show the skill text in full so I can save it with "/" then "Create new skill". ## Output The suggested shortcut, then the complete skill text. Keep the whole skill under 250 words. Prefer steps that work on any store size. Never include instructions to change store data without a confirmation step.
