Use this when turning an upstream prompt, workflow, rubric, benchmark, guide, or docs set into a reusable skill.
Preserve the source’s useful intent while rewriting the runtime shape for this repository, the Agent Skills format, and the selected execution shape.
Use the rows that affect runtime behavior, maintenance, or legal/attribution handling. Do not fill every row mechanically for trivial sources.
| Decision | Record |
|---|---|
| source intent | what behavior the source is trying to cause |
| local target | what the generated skill should cause in this repo or agent environment |
| fidelity boundary | what must stay equivalent to the source |
| local replacement | what should be rewritten to match local conventions |
| omitted material | what was not carried forward and why |
| provenance | source URL/path, version or commit when available, trust tier, confidence, and usage constraints |
| rights and attribution | license, notice, attribution, or excerpt limits that affect bundled files |
