Research direction

Start by locating the agent skill files that use argument-hint and compare their frontmatter with the official Agent Skills specification linked in the issue. Remove that field and express each invocation in the description using natural language and quoted literal values. Done when the skill instructions follow the requested format; the linked pull request may show the intended changes.

Describe the bug

The agent skills in the repo are using a field called argument-hint to specify usage instructions. This is not part of the official agent skill specification and thus won't transfer as well to all harnesses.

Steps/Code to reproduce bug

Refer to the official agent skills specification:

Expected behavior

It would be desirable to keep divergence from the Agent Skills spec to a minimum, so that degradation between harnesses is minimized.

How to fix (PR here):

  • Remove argument-hint and describe the invocation in description in natural language, with literal values quoted.
