SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Dogent users need a reliable, repeatable process to create or optimize templates and ensure consistent metadata and file structure across workspace, global, and built-in locations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template scaffolding: generate SKILL.md frontmatter and a standard directory layout (templates/, examples/, assets/).
  • Optimization: refine YAML metadata, improve guidance, and align with Dogent's conventions.
  • Scope management: default to workspace templates with explicit options for global or built-in templates.
  • Documentation and references: provide clear companion files references for templates, examples, and assets to support reuse.

Quick Start

Provide the template name and brief goal to initiate generation of a complete Dogent template directory with SKILL.md and example files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a standard template directory with YAML frontmatter for documentation?

To create a documentation template, you need a standard directory layout containing SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter and companion folders like templates/ and examples/. This process scaffolds the complete structure automatically, ensuring consistent metadata and file references.

What is the best way to optimize existing template metadata and guidance?

Optimizing template metadata involves refining the YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md and rewriting guidance to align with standard conventions. This refactoring improves template reusability and ensures consistent file layout across local, global, or built-in locations.

How does template scaffolding work for workspace and global locations?

Template scaffolding works by generating a standard directory layout that defaults to workspace templates but supports explicit options for global or built-in scopes. It automatically structures companion files to support reuse across different environments.

Can I restructure companion-file references without breaking the template layout?

Yes, you can restructure companion-file references by updating the SKILL.md metadata to accurately reflect the templates/, examples/, and assets/ paths. This maintains a consistent file layout and ensures documentation references resolve correctly.

Do I need specific dependencies to manage Dogent templates?

No specific dependencies are required to manage Dogent templates. The process relies on standard YAML frontmatter and markdown file conventions to define metadata and guidance within the generated directory structure.

Why does my generated template lack consistent metadata across different scopes?

Inconsistent template metadata occurs when YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md is not properly aligned with standard conventions across workspace, global, and built-in locations. Applying a standardized scaffolding process ensures uniform metadata structure and file layout.
