Setting the file. One moment.
Use this layout when parsing, validation, APIs, or repeatable transformations are fragile in plain shell or prose alone.

Example Hook Backed Skill
- the skill benefits from deterministic automation
- repeated shell snippets would be brittle
- validation or data extraction should be reusable
- Every script is named in
SKILL.md with arguments, outputs, and fallback behavior.
- Scripts are non-interactive.
- Standard output is structured when practical.
- The skill explains what to do if a script fails or is unavailable.
- one simple shell command is enough
- the “script” would only wrap trivial shell for no reliability gain
