Frequently Asked Questions about demo-skill

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test MCP skill discovery and frontmatter parsing?

A minimal demo skill validates MCP skill discovery by providing a simple usage example to trigger activation and produce a basic output, ensuring the server registers and processes the skill correctly.

What is an MCP skill activation flow?

An MCP skill activation flow is the process where the MCP server discovers a skill, parses its SKILL.md frontmatter to create a manifest, and executes a triggered usage to return a basic output.

How do I validate MCP server integration with a test skill?

To validate MCP server integration, include the test skill directory in the server skills path, start the server, verify the skill appears in the list, and trigger the demo usage to check the sample output.

Does the demo-skill require external dependencies for integration testing?

The demo-skill requires no external dependencies for integration testing, using a self-contained design to exercise the core frontmatter parsing and activation workflows within the Loadout ecosystem.

Why does my MCP skill not appear in the discovery list?

Your MCP skill may not appear in the discovery list if the test-skills directory is not included in the MCP skills path, or if the SKILL.md frontmatter parsing failed during manifest creation.
