  • Skill Authoring: Defines the required SKILL.md structure, naming rules, and portable frontmatter for new or updated skills.
  • Sync and Validation: Guides running the agent knowledge sync process and fixing validation or drift issues after edits.
  • Composition Handoffs: Explains how to link related skills, workflow catalog metadata, and supporting docs when a skill participates in a larger agent workflow.
  • Use Case: A contributor adds a new shipped skill, updates its references, and verifies the generated bundle stays consistent with the source tree.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I create agent skills with portable frontmatter and pass sync validation?

Create agent skills by defining the required SKILL.md structure, naming rules, and portable frontmatter under agent-knowledge/skills/, then run the sync process to validate the generated bundle stays consistent with the source tree.

What is agent knowledge sync and when do I need to run drift verification?

Agent knowledge sync is the process of generating portable bundles from source skill files. Run drift verification after editing or adding new skills to ensure generated bundles remain consistent with the source tree and pass validation checks.

How do I fix sync failures when updating shipped agent skills?

Fix sync failures by correcting SKILL.md frontmatter schema violations, updating optional reference and script components, and ensuring compliance with agent knowledge sync and drift verification rules across source and generated bundles.

Can I link related agent skills to participate in a larger workflow catalog?

Yes, you can link related skills, workflow catalog metadata, and supporting docs through composition handoffs, allowing a skill to participate in a larger agent workflow while maintaining portable frontmatter compliance.

What's the best way to maintain workflow-linked skill metadata across source and generated bundles?

Maintain workflow-linked metadata by applying correct SKILL.md frontmatter, optional reference and script components, and running sync-aware structure validation to ensure compliance with agent knowledge sync and drift verification across both source and generated bundles.

Why does my agent skill bundle fail drift checks after editing frontmatter?

Drift checks fail when edited frontmatter violates the required schema or when source files and generated bundles become inconsistent. Revalidate the SKILL.md structure and rerun the agent knowledge sync process to repair the drift.
