First pass at a HIP authoring skill:

  • Aim to refine, scope and investigate an the idea first, and promotes validating the idea in #helm-dev or developer call before creating the full HIP
  • Then a section, by section drafting and refinement process

The HIP template is duplicated and embedded in the skill - enables providing much more detailed guidance for the sections than what is currently in HIP-0001

closes: #436

a few thoughts:

  1. H4HIP as outlined in https://github.com/helm/community/blob/main/hips/hip-0012.md is missing from this
  2. rather than targeted word length for each section, is it better to have instructions that focus more on the spirit of the goal - such as "keep proposals as simple as possible. do not add unnecessary detail other than what's needed" etc?
  3. meta question - what is this ultimately adding for an LLM above what a copy of https://github.com/helm/community/blob/main/hips/hip-0001.md would provide? If there are missing pieces from hip 001 (eg, H4HIP defined in 0012) should we instead amend hip 0001 with any new/missing/clarifying information?
