arqel-marketplace-skill-metadata-extractor

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the discovery and standardization of Skill Units in the Arqel monorepo by locating SKILL.md files at the root of each unit, reading YAML frontmatter to extract mandatory fields like name and description, and producing a uniform metadata block suitable for ingestion by a Skill registry.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automatically identifies valid Skill Units by the presence of SKILL.md at the root and required frontmatter (name, description).
• Parses optional frontmatter fields and operational content to capture tagging (category, keywords), dependencies, and available resources (scripts/references/assets).
• Generates a consistent YAML metadata payload per Skill Unit for discovery, indexing, and activation in AI agent contexts.
• Useful in monorepos with multiple Skill Units, enabling automated cataloging and quality checks before activation.

Quick Start

Run the extractor from the repository root to generate metadata for all Skill units.
