Create a skill

Usage

Ask Norma in plain language. With Arch Studio connected through MCP, no $ or / command is required. Norma is your assistant working with Arch Studio.

Use Arch Studio to create a project-local skill for turning site photos into a numbered photo log. Require an actual image review, preserve original filenames and leave unknown locations blank. Include a README and show the package for review.

The full catalog lives in your assistant once Arch Studio is connected. Ask: Norma, what can you do? List the skills, tools, agents and workflows available in this host, grouped by practice area.
