agent-skills

To enforce consistent frontmatter structure for agent skills, apply a defined schema including name, description, and allowed-tools. This standardizes metadata across new and existing skills for consistent governance and streamlined setup.

The best way to scaffold a new agent skill is using the rei CLI command 'rei skills new <name>'. This generates the initial structure, allowing you to tighten SKILL.md frontmatter and add modular references before validation.

Skill metadata validation with the rei CLI checks your frontmatter structure prior to sync. This workflow ensures your agent skills meet the required schema standards before changes are propagated to the system.

Yes, you can refactor existing skill metadata to use modular organization with linked references. This approach allows you to rewrite and update skill metadata while maintaining consistent frontmatter structure.

You need to validate agent skills before syncing to ensure the frontmatter schema is correct. Running validation through the rei CLI prevents structural errors from propagating when you sync changes across your environment.
