FAQPage Schema
How do I validate frontmatter in SKILL.md files?

To validate frontmatter, run the validator to confirm your SKILL.md files contain the mandatory name and description fields. This ensures correct formatting and discoverability for all skill units before deployment.

What is the best way to standardize skill directory structures?

Standardize skill directory structures by applying canonicalization steps to rename files to TitleCase and reorganize existing units. This ensures consistency and correct formatting across all skill directories.

How do I create a new skill directory with proper formatting?

Create a new skill directory, add a SKILL.md file with proper name and description frontmatter, and run the validator. This confirms the directory structure is correct and ready for use.

Can I use this validation tool for reorganizing existing skills?

Yes, this tool is applicable for both building new skills and reorganizing existing ones. It provides canonicalization guidance and validates directory structures to ensure consistency.

Why does my skill validation fail when workflow references are missing?

Skill validation fails when workflow references are missing because the validator checks that all referenced Workflows exist. Ensure all referenced files are present in the directory structure.

Do I need YAML frontmatter for every skill directory?

Yes, YAML frontmatter is required for every skill directory. The validator ensures each SKILL.md file contains the mandatory name and description frontmatter fields for proper standardization.
