What problem does it solve?
This Skill Unit provides a standardized blueprint for authoring Skills, ensuring frontmatter, structure, and reference organization follow best practices to enable fast activation and predictable behavior.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured metadata: Enforces YAML frontmatter with required name and description.
- Progressive disclosure guidance: Encourages segmenting long content into references to keep SKILL.md concise.
- Reference organization: Demonstrates how to place developer references under references/ for on-demand loading.
- Creator workflow: Serves as an onboarding guide for anyone designing or updating Skills.
Quick Start
To create a new Skill Unit, name the directory and add a SKILL.md with the required frontmatter and body. Then place extended guidance, examples, and references in the references/ directory and, if needed, the scripts/ directory for deterministic tasks. This Skill Unit can be used by agents to load and validate new Skills efficiently.
