FAQPage Schema

How do I create a new AdaL skill and scaffold the project structure?▼

To create a new AdaL skill, gather the skill details, create the skill directory, and populate the SKILL.md frontmatter with name, description, author, and version. This scaffolds a consistent starting point for deployment and discovery.

What is the difference between personal, project, and plugin skills in AdaL?▼

Personal skills reside in ~/.adal/skills/ for individual use, project skills in .adal/skills/ for team sharing within a repository, and plugin skills are hosted publicly on GitHub for broad distribution and visibility.

What fields are required in the SKILL.md frontmatter for an AdaL skill?▼

The SKILL.md frontmatter requires name, description, author, and version fields. This metadata ensures the AdaL skill can be properly discovered and loaded into the repository environment.

What's the best way to set up a personal AdaL skill for individual use?▼

Set up a personal AdaL skill by creating a directory under ~/.adal/skills/ and writing the SKILL.md file with the required frontmatter. This ensures the skill is scoped correctly for individual visibility and loading.

Can I load a scaffolded AdaL skill directly into my project repository?▼

Yes, after scaffolding the skill structure and writing the SKILL.md frontmatter, the AdaL skill can be loaded and discovered directly within your project repository using the .adal/skills/ directory path.

Why does my AdaL skill scaffold need a specific directory structure?▼

A specific directory structure is needed to ensure the AdaL skill is correctly discovered and loaded. Scaffolding provides a standard layout with SKILL.md frontmatter, reducing ambiguity about scope and deployment.
