By
teaonly
Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
SKILL.make is a specification and reference implementation that brings the declarative, dependency-driven paradigm of Makefiles to the Agent Skills format. It replaces unstructured prose with structured logic by defining rules using Makefile-style syntax including variables (VAR = val), shell commands (@ cmd), and invocable tool calls ($ tool). The goal is to transform SKILL.md files into reproducible execution graphs for AI agents.
