## Contributing Skills
Skills are specialized knowledge packages that enhance agent capabilities. They live in `strix/skills/`
### Creating a Skill
1. Choose the right category
2. Create a `.md` file with YAML frontmatter (`name` and `description` fields)
3. Include practical examples—working payloads, commands, test cases
4. Provide validation methods to confirm findings
5. Submit via PR
## Contributing Code
### Pull Request Process
1. **Create an issue first** — Describe the problem or feature
2. **Fork and branch** — Work from `main`
3. **Make changes** — Follow existing code style
4. **Write tests** — Ensure coverage for new features
5. **Run checks** — `make check-all` should pass
6. **Submit PR** — Link to issue and provide context
### Code Style
- PEP 8 with 100-character line limit
- Type hints for all functions
- Docstrings for public methods
- Small, focused functions
- Meaningful variable names
## Reporting Issues
