CinaSkill / integrated capability format.

Package focused instructions and resources for reuse in CinaClaw.

CinaSkill is the SKILL.md-based capability format used by bundled, managed, and workspace skills in CinaClaw. It does not claim a separate hosted service or standalone release.

Product evidence / current scope.

What is verifiable today.

Status and capabilities below are tied to public project repositories. They do not imply a customer deployment, managed SLA, or production availability beyond the linked evidence.

Status: Integrated capability format

CinaSkill describes the SKILL.md-based capability format used with CinaClaw. A separate hosted service or standalone release is not claimed.

Verified: · commit 4975cf7

Implemented in the project

  • SKILL.md instruction contract
  • Bundled, managed, and workspace skill loading in CinaClaw
  • Workspace skill loading with documented precedence over managed and bundled skills

Documented interfaces and integrations

  • Markdown contract: inputs, instructions, and supporting resources
  • ~/.cinaclaw/workspace/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md
  • CinaClaw agent and tool registry

Capabilities.

A focused layer for the work your team needs to finish.

These are reference workflow patterns, not a promise that every capability is enabled in every release or deployment. Start with the smallest useful workflow and confirm current availability against the evidence above.

Contract.

Keep the entry point explicit.

Use SKILL.md to describe when the capability applies, what it needs, and how it should operate.

Scope.

Focus on one repeatable job.

Separate a useful capability from unrelated workflows, permissions, and tools.

Resources.

Attach only required support files.

Reference runbooks, templates, scripts, or examples that the skill actually needs.

Location.

Load from documented skill sources.

Use bundled, managed, or workspace skill directories according to the CinaClaw setup.

Review.

Make permissions inspectable.

State the tools, external systems, and side effects the capability can require.

Maintain.

Keep loading order and version visible.

Document the workspace location, version, and runtime or resource assumptions the capability carries.

Workflow.

Move one recurring job into a reviewable skill contract.

A reference skill starts with a real task, narrows the required resources and permissions, and is tested inside its intended CinaClaw workspace.

01 / Define the trigger Write the task and the conditions under which the skill should be selected.
02 / Specify the contract Describe required inputs, instructions, tools, resources, and expected output in SKILL.md.
03 / Test in one workspace Exercise the skill with representative inputs and review any tool or permission boundary.
04 / Version and maintain Keep compatibility, supporting resources, and workspace loading behavior clear as the workflow changes.

Illustrative skill contract.

Keep the implementation understandable.

Use explicit inputs, review points, and outputs so the system is easier to operate and change.

skill "release-check" {
  contract    = "SKILL.md"
  permissions = "explicit"
  resources   = ["runbook", "verification"]
  version     = "visible"
}

Operating principles.

Built for practical adoption.

One clear job.

A skill should remain small enough for its behavior and permissions to be reviewed.

Explicit resources.

Supporting files and tools should be present because the task requires them.

No standalone claim.

CinaSkill is described as a format integrated with CinaClaw, not an independent hosted product.
