…im for agents - Move apify-generate-output-schema into actor-development as references/output-schemas.md; remove the standalone skill, its marketplace entry, and README/AGENTS.md references - Delete the three duplicate schema references (dataset, output, key-value store) that disagreed with the generator's hard rules - Rewrite input-schema.md from the v1 specification: default vs prefill vs required, editors per type, isSecret, errorMessage, resource type - Rewrite SKILL.md: workflow steps first with completion criteria, reference pointers folded into steps, each rule stated once in positive form, new description naming the trigger branches - Point create-actor command and actorization reference at the shared output-schemas.md
apify create now prompts for name, use case, language, template, and source hosting, and installs dependencies itself. Document the non-interactive form (name + --template), the manifest template IDs (js-empty, ts-empty, python-empty, *-standby), --source for Git-hosted Actors, and git push as the deploy path for those.
Lead with the non-interactive form, drop the prompt list and the --use-case/--language filter (unreachable when --template is passed), drop CLI-output exposition from the deploy step, and note that the standby templates already set usesStandbyMode.

Summary
Reviewed the Actor development skills against the
writing-for-agentsguidance and consolidated them so there is one skill to install and one place for schema rules.Two skills become one, and four overlapping schema references collapse into one:
Why
The two skills disagreed, so an agent following one produced schemas the other rejected:
The same disagreement covered
additionalPropertiesat both levels andtype: stringon output properties.What changed
apify-generate-output-schemaintoapify-actor-developmentasreferences/output-schemas.md. The standalone skill, its marketplace entry, and its README/AGENTS.md references are removed. Its trigger branch ("generate or update schemas") now lives in the actor-development description.dataset-schema.md,output-schema.md,key-value-store-schema.md).input-schema.mdfrom the v1 specification: default vs prefill vs required, editors per type,isSecret,errorMessage, resource fields, deprecatedpatternKey/patternValue.SKILL.md: workflow steps first with checkable done-conditions, reference pointers folded into the steps, each rule stated once in positive form, command list reduced to the non-obvious entries.commands/create-actor.mdand the actorization schema reference at the sharedoutput-schemas.md.agents/AGENTS.mdregenerated withscripts/generate_agents.py.Everything else in the diff is fallout from the removal:

The
apify-generate-output-schemaplugin no longer exists. Users who installed it get the same behaviour fromapify-actor-development.Dropped and left alone, flagging for review
