FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a new Claude Code skill and automate the scaffolding process?▼

To generate a new Claude Code skill, this tool interactively guides you through defining its purpose, name, category, and technical requirements to automate scaffolding. It creates the necessary SKILL.md file with correct frontmatter and license headers for you.

What is the best way to create SKILL.md files that adhere to documentation catalog standards?▼

The best way to create SKILL.md files for catalog standards is using an interactive skill generator. It ensures adherence to standards by automatically embedding correct frontmatter, license headers, and optional evals into the generated file.

Can I use this skill generation tool to define technical requirements and optional evals for documentation tasks?▼

Yes, you can use this skill generation tool to define technical requirements and optional evals for documentation tasks. It interactively prompts you for these specifications during the scaffolding process to prepare your skill for testing.

Do I need to manually configure frontmatter and license headers when building developer tools?▼

No, you do not need to manually configure frontmatter and license headers when building developer tools. The skill generation process automates file creation, embedding the required metadata and headers directly into the SKILL.md output.

What are the limitations of using an interactive skill generator for coding assistant automation?▼

The interactive skill generator is limited to scaffolding skills specifically for the elastic-docs-skills catalog. It focuses on generating SKILL.md files and does not handle the downstream execution or testing of the coding assistant automation itself.
