Vercel Labs Agent Skills — Skill-Authoring Template
One of the most-copied skill-authoring references: a full SKILL.md skeleton (How It Works / Usage / Output / Present Results / Troubleshooting), a context-efficiency section explaining progressive disclosure and the 500-line budget, and hard script requirements (set -e, JSON to stdout, status to stderr).
