SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create a new Skill unit scaffold for the ARC Probe plugin by enforcing a compliant SKILL.md frontmatter and directory structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardizes Skill unit creation by validating frontmatter fields (name, description) and optional argument hints.
  • Automates the directory skeleton generation (skill directory, SKILL.md, and optional components) to accelerate plugin development.
  • Supports seamless registration and discovery within the ARC Probe ecosystem, enabling quick extension of plugin capabilities.

Quick Start

Run the add-skill process to initialize a new Skill unit, fill in the frontmatter with a unique name and description, and synchronize it to the public repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a compliant skill scaffold for the ARC Probe plugin?

To create a skill scaffold for the ARC Probe plugin, run the add-skill process to automatically generate the directory structure and validate the required SKILL.md frontmatter fields like name and description.

What frontmatter is required in a SKILL.md file for skill registration?

The required frontmatter in a SKILL.md file for skill registration includes the name and description fields, along with optional argument hints, ensuring the skill is correctly validated and discoverable by the plugin system.

How does directory skeleton generation work for plugin development?

Directory skeleton generation for plugin development works by automating the creation of the skill directory, the SKILL.md file, and optional components, which accelerates setup and enforces naming conventions for seamless registration.

Can I use optional argument hints when bootstrapping a skill unit?

Yes, you can use optional argument hints when bootstrapping a skill unit, as the creation process validates these frontmatter fields alongside the mandatory name and description to standardize skill capabilities.

What are the steps to synchronize a newly created skill to the public repository?

To synchronize a newly created skill to the public repository, initialize the unit using the scaffold generator, fill in the frontmatter with a unique name and description, and complete the minimal registration steps to sync.

Why is my newly created skill not discoverable by the plugin system?

A newly created skill may not be discoverable by the plugin system if its SKILL.md frontmatter fails compliance validation for the name or description fields, or if the directory structure does not follow the enforced naming conventions.
