To generate SKILL.md frontmatter for AIDLC skill authoring, use a framework that produces concise metadata blocks and enforces required fields like name, description, and license blocks to ensure structural compliance and attribution.

The best way to validate skill structure and frontmatter is to apply TDD-inspired workflows with validation hooks, checking frontmatter syntax, link targets, and risk controls to ensure robust skill units before deployment.

Yes, AIDLC skill authoring requires specific keyword coverage and licensing enforcement. The framework validates that these controls are present in the SKILL.md to ensure compliance and safe reuse.

To create progressive-disclosure documentation for new skills, structure content into overview, core patterns, and quick-start instructions, integrating validation steps directly into the authoring workflow.

Your skill fails validation during AIDLC authoring when frontmatter structure is incomplete, keyword coverage is missing, or token efficiency and safety checks detect errors in the SKILL.md file.

Yes, you can edit existing skills using AIDLC writing conventions by validating the current frontmatter structure, applying progressive-disclosure content updates, and re-running validation hooks to ensure compliance.
