FAQPage Schema

How do I scaffold a new skill with valid YAML frontmatter?▼

To scaffold a new skill, you generate a SKILL.md file at .agents/skills/<skill-name> with mandatory YAML frontmatter including name and description, plus a concise executable body. This ensures the skill meets discovery and activation criteria.

What is the required directory structure for creating a Codex skill?▼

The required directory structure places a SKILL.md file directly inside .agents/skills/<skill-name>. It supports on-demand extension by adding optional directories like scripts/, references/, and assets/ as the skill evolves.

How do I standardize skill creation to enforce naming conventions?▼

You standardize skill creation by using a scaffolding process that automatically applies proper naming conventions to the <skill-name> directory and validates the inclusion of mandatory YAML frontmatter fields before integration.

Can I use this scaffolding process to extend an existing Trellis workflow?▼

Yes, you can extend a Trellis workflow by scaffolding a new custom or developer workflow skill. The generated SKILL.md integrates directly into the existing .agents/skills directory, maintaining consistent discovery and activation.

What do I need to include in a SKILL.md file for it to be discoverable?▼

A SKILL.md file requires mandatory YAML frontmatter containing both a name and description field, along with a usable starter body. This structure ensures the skill complies with unit criteria for proper discovery.
