## About

# Personal Skill Rules

Use this skill for instructions tied to one user, one machine, one vault, or one private workflow.

## Purpose

`skills/personal/` keeps personal context out of general-purpose skills. This prevents public skills from becoming noisy, brittle, or too specific to one setup.

## What Belongs Here

- Personal writing preferences
- Local machine paths
- Private project conventions
- Personal Obsidian vault rules
- Private API or service usage notes without secrets
- Repeated workflows that only one user needs

## What Does Not Belong Here

- Secrets, tokens, passwords, or private keys
- Generic engineering practices that belong in `engineering/`
- Team-wide rules that deserve a stable shared skill
- Large reference dumps that should live in a separate private document

## Rules

- Never store secrets in a personal skill.
- Keep local paths and user preferences clearly scoped.
- Do not let personal rules override explicit user instructions in a task.
- Promote only a cleaned, non-private version into public buckets.

## Workflow

1. Classify the instruction
   - If it helps only this user, keep it personal.
   - If it helps a team or repo, consider a stable skill bucket.
   - If it is executable behavior, consider `mcp-tools/`.

2. Keep it scoped
   - Write the smallest instruction that changes agent behavior.
   - Avoid turning preferences into universal rules.
   - Include examples only when they prevent ambiguity.

3. Protect private context
   - Do not store secrets.
   - Do not paste sensitive personal data unless explicitly needed.
   - Prefer references to local files over copied private content.

4. Review promotion
   - If a personal skill becomes broadly useful, promote a cleaned version to a public bucket.
   - Remove user-specific paths, names, secrets, and assumptions before promotion.

## Verification

- Confirm the skill does not contain secrets.
- Confirm the instruction is personal rather than broadly reusable.
- Confirm any local paths are intentional.

## Output Format

End with:

- Personal rule added or changed
- Why it belongs in `personal/`
- Any privacy risk
- Whether it could later be promoted
