Generating a spec-compliant SKILL.md file involves defining required frontmatter fields, enforcing name and description limits, and mapping metadata into the Gini extension namespace. This ensures the skill is valid, discoverable, and ready for execution by the Anthropic Agent Skills runtime.

Migrating legacy skill metadata to the current YAML frontmatter schema requires rewriting outdated top-level keys into the Gini extension namespace. This conversion updates older SKILL.md structures and maps connector requirements to ensure successful installation into the gateway.

Connector requirements for installing a skill into the Gini runtime involve validating dependencies specified within the SKILL.md frontmatter. Correct metadata placement and connector shape mapping ensure the skill is properly recognized and successfully installed into the running gateway.

Skill validation fails due to YAML frontmatter constraints when required fields are missing, name or description limits are exceeded, or metadata is not placed correctly within the Gini namespace. Enforcing these constraints ensures successful installation and runtime execution.

You can use natural language prompts to author Anthropic Agent Skills by requesting a create-skill-ready SKILL.md entry. The generation process translates your prompt into spec-compliant metadata, enforcing required frontmatter constraints and validating connector dependencies automatically.
