FAQPage Schema
How do I create a SKILL.md file for a new Agent Zero skill?

To create a SKILL.md file, use a skill creation wizard that guides you through defining the skill name, description, version, author, tags, and trigger_patterns, then saves the finalized markdown file to your skill directory root.

What frontmatter fields are required when defining skill triggers in markdown?

Required frontmatter fields for defining skill triggers in markdown include name and description, while optional fields like version, author, tags, and trigger_patterns are guided to ensure the skill behaves predictably when loaded into the agent.

What is the best way to structure documentation for new agent skills?

The best way to structure documentation for new agent skills is using a templated markdown guide that organizes supporting files across scripts, references, and assets, ensuring clear instructions and consistent skill definitions across projects.

Can I version and share skill definitions across multiple projects?

Yes, you can version and share skill definitions across multiple projects by generating a standards-compliant SKILL.md with frontmatter fields for version and author, streamlining team documentation and reuse.

Why does my agent skill not trigger correctly when loaded?

An agent skill may not trigger correctly if the SKILL.md file lacks properly defined trigger_patterns in the frontmatter or if the markdown body instructions are not structured according to the templated guide for predictable behavior.

Do I need any dependencies to generate a skill template?

No dependencies are required to generate a skill template, as the skill creation wizard operates independently to enforce frontmatter fields and provide a practical markdown body structure for your new skill.
