FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new skill directory with the correct structure and frontmatter?

To scaffold a new skill directory, run the create-skill workflow and answer the prompts. It automatically generates the required directory structure under skills/, populates skill.md with mandatory sections, and validates frontmatter fields to ensure consistency with repository conventions.

What's the best way to enforce repository conventions when adding a new skill?

Enforcing repository conventions when adding a new skill is handled automatically by the create-skill scaffold. It validates frontmatter fields and populates skill.md with mandatory sections defined in AGENTS.md, ensuring all new skills comply with established repository standards.

Do I need any external tools or dependencies to generate a skill scaffold?

No external tools or dependencies are required to generate a skill scaffold. The create-skill workflow runs entirely within the repository environment, handling directory creation, skill.md population, and frontmatter validation without external dependencies.

What mandatory sections should I include in skill.md for repository conventions?

Mandatory sections in skill.md are dictated by the repository conventions defined in AGENTS.md. The create-skill scaffold automatically populates these required sections, ensuring your new skill meets the structural and frontmatter validation standards of the repository.

Why does my skill scaffold fail frontmatter validation?

Frontmatter validation fails when the provided metadata does not match the repository conventions enforced by the scaffold. The create-skill workflow validates frontmatter fields for consistency, requiring correct formats and mandatory entries before the skill directory can be successfully created.
