Create ToolUniverse Skill

Systematic workflow for creating production-ready ToolUniverse skills.

Core Principles

Build on the 10 pillars from devtu (optimize-skills mode):

1. TEST FIRST - never document untested tools
2. Verify tool contracts - don't trust function names
3. Handle SOAP tools - add operation parameter
4. Implementation-agnostic docs - no Python/MCP code in SKILL.md
5. Foundation first - query aggregators before specialized tools
6. Disambiguate carefully - resolve IDs properly
7. Implement fallbacks - Primary -> Fallback -> Default
8. Grade evidence - T1-T4 tiers on claims
9. Quantified completeness - numeric minimums per section
10. Synthesize - models and hypotheses, not just lists

See OPTIMIZE_INTEGRATION.md for detailed application of each pillar.

7-Phase Workflow

Phase	Duration	Description
1. Domain Analysis	15 min	Understand use cases, data types, analysis phases
2. Tool Discovery	30-45 min	Search, read configs, test tools (MANDATORY)
3. Tool Creation	0-60 min	Create missing tools via devtu (create-tool mode)
4. Implementation	30-45 min	Write python_implementation.py with tested tools
5. Documentation	30-45 min	Write SKILL.md (agnostic) + QUICK_START.md
6. Validation	15-30 min	Run test suite, validate checklist, manual verify
7. Packaging	15 min	Create summary, update tracking

Total: ~1.5-2 hours (without tool creation).

Phase 1: Domain Analysis

Phase 2: Tool Discovery and Testing

Phase 3: Tool Creation (If Needed)

Phase 4: Implementation

Phase 5: Documentation

Phase 6: Validation
