How do I scaffold a new agent skill directory that meets the spec?

To scaffold an agent skill directory, use this skill to bootstrap a standard SKILL.md file and enforce the directory structure and naming rules defined in SKILL_SPEC.md. It provides a guided workflow to generate the required frontmatter and avoid misconfigurations.

What is the correct frontmatter format for an agent skill directory?

The correct frontmatter format for an agent skill is enforced by validating existing directories against SKILL_SPEC.md. This skill checks frontmatter constraints and naming rules to ensure your agent skill configuration complies with the required standard structure.

How do I validate an existing skill directory against SKILL_SPEC.md?

To validate an existing skill directory against SKILL_SPEC.md, use this skill to check your frontmatter constraints, directory structure, and naming rules. It identifies misconfigurations to ensure your agent skills maintain consistent compliance with the specification.

Can I use this to enforce naming rules for agent skills?

Yes, you can use this skill to enforce naming rules and directory structure for consistent agent skills. It validates that your skill directories comply with the constraints defined in SKILL_SPEC.md, preventing naming misconfigurations during the creation process.

What is the best way to generate a SKILL.md file for a new agent skill?

The best way to generate a SKILL.md file is to use a scaffolding tool that enforces SKILL_SPEC.md compliance. This skill provides a guided workflow to bootstrap the file with correct frontmatter and directory structure, avoiding manual misconfigurations.

Why does my agent skill directory fail frontmatter validation?

Your agent skill directory fails frontmatter validation when its structure or metadata does not match the constraints in SKILL_SPEC.md. Use this skill to validate your directory, identify the specific naming or frontmatter misconfigurations, and correct them.
