FAQPage Schema
How do I create an OpenCode skill that complies with repository standards?▼

To create an OpenCode skill, scaffold a new directory under .opencode/skills and add a SKILL.md file with required frontmatter and lean body content, ensuring metadata validation passes repository standards.

What is the required frontmatter schema for an OpenCode SKILL.md file?▼

The frontmatter schema for an OpenCode SKILL.md file requires strict metadata fields to validate the skill-definition standard, driving metadata validation and ensuring the repository recognizes the skill unit.

What's the best way to structure a new skill directory for OpenCode?▼

The best way to structure a skill directory is placing it under .opencode/skills/<skill-name>/ with a SKILL.md file and optional resource directories, following documentation-driven skill creation workflows.

Do I need markdown frontmatter to define an OpenCode skill?▼

Yes, you need markdown frontmatter to define an OpenCode skill, as it enforces strict metadata validation and repository standards compliance required for the skill-definition standard onboarding process.

Why does my OpenCode skill fail repository standards validation?▼

Your OpenCode skill fails validation if the SKILL.md file lacks the strict frontmatter schema, contains invalid metadata, or misses required safety checks defined by the skill-definition standard.

Can I include optional resources when scaffolding an OpenCode skill?▼

Yes, you can include optional resource directories when scaffolding an OpenCode skill under .opencode/skills, supplementing the required SKILL.md file and its frontmatter-driven metadata.
