Research direction

The issue proposes the external skill-spec repository and its six-section SPEC template for SKILL.md folders, but names no SkillOpt files, tests, or entry point. First review SkillOpt's best_skill.md workflow and the linked contract tool; completion would require a maintainer-defined integration scope and acceptance criteria.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

SkillOpt optimizes skills; skill-spec makes their promises falsifiable first. We open-sourced a six-section SPEC template + zero-dependency linter (Purpose / Interface / Procedure / Acceptance / Guards / Honest limits, exit 0/1, CI-ready) that turns SKILL.md folders into auditable units: github.com/chenhz01/skill-spec. Possibly complementary — happy to share a sample run. Ignore if not relevant.
