Scaffolding a reusable skill package requires authoring a SKILL.md file and generating starter eval resources. This creates a minimal, portable directory structure with references, scripts, assets, and evals to enable cross-runtime discovery.

SKILL.md authoring defines the skill interface for agents to discover and apply. Frontmatter validation ensures portability and discoverability across runtimes by verifying metadata, links, and evaluation scaffolds meet structural requirements.

Yes, skill templates can generate starter evaluation resources automatically. The scaffold script creates a new skill folder containing SKILL.md and starter evaluation templates to bootstrap a reusable skill package quickly.

No, the skill scaffold omits agent manifest creation. It focuses on producing a minimal, portable structure with SKILL.md, frontmatter validation, optional references, scripts, assets, and starter evals for quick cross-runtime deployment.

The best way to structure resources for cross-runtime compatibility is using a portable directory layout. Organize files into references, scripts, and assets folders alongside SKILL.md and evals to ensure agents can discover and apply skills across runtimes.

You need a skill scaffold when standardizing reusable skill packages across multiple runtimes. It automates SKILL.md authoring, directory generation, and validation to eliminate manual setup errors and ensure consistent portability and discoverability.
