FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a new skill skeleton with valid metadata?▼

To bootstrap a new skill skeleton, duplicate this starter directory and replace the SKILL.md file with your own trigger conditions. The skeleton validates YAML frontmatter requirements and folder layout to ensure proper metadata discovery.

What is the required YAML frontmatter schema for skill discovery?▼

The required YAML frontmatter schema for skill discovery mandates name and description fields. This validation skeleton checks for these prescribed metadata fields to conform to discovery and activation requirements.

How do I add optional directories like scripts and references to my skill?▼

You add optional directories like scripts/, references/, and assets/ by creating them in your skill folder. The starter skeleton guides naming conventions and matching metadata for these optional components.

Why does my skill metadata validation fail during activation?▼

Skill metadata validation fails during activation when the SKILL.md frontmatter is missing required name or description fields. The skeleton enforces the prescribed field schema used for discovery to prevent activation errors.

Can I use this starter template to verify my skill folder layout?▼

Yes, you can use this starter template to verify your skill folder layout. It enforces a valid directory structure and checks the SKILL.md frontmatter to ensure your new skill activates properly with matching metadata.
