Defining a skill requires a frontmatter header declaring name, description, and options, followed by a simple activation body. The skills/<name>/SKILL.md layout processes this metadata to enable user invocation and command parsing.

The SKILL.md layout establishes the directory structure for skill discovery and user invocation. It uses frontmatter to define command metadata and an activation body to parse input, satisfying requirements for testing.

Command options are declared in the frontmatter header alongside name and description. This metadata structure defines how arguments are parsed during invocation, providing a clear template for building user-invoked commands.

Yes, the skill layout supports backward compatibility with legacy command formats. The skills/<name>/SKILL.md structure maintains this compatibility while using frontmatter-based metadata for defining name, description, and options.

Invoking an example command with a sample argument demonstrates how command parsing works. Observing the response shows how frontmatter metadata maps to the activation body, illustrating the flow from user input to task execution.

Frontmatter metadata is needed whenever creating a user-invoked command for discovery and testing. It defines the name, description, and options required by the skills/<name>/SKILL.md layout to properly route and parse user input.
