To standardize skill discovery and activation using YAML frontmatter, you define a canonical skill specification in a SKILL.md file, enforcing minimal required fields like name and description. This ensures consistent metadata organization and governance across domains.
The minimal frontmatter required for a valid skill definition includes only the name and description fields. This baseline ensures proper skill governance and allows the specification to be discovered and activated consistently across the project.
You document operational instructions and governance policies in a skill specification by using the Markdown body of the SKILL.md file. This section details usage rules, commands, and categories while the YAML frontmatter handles the centralized metadata.
Yes, you can apply a canonical skill specification across multiple domains by organizing skills with standardized YAML frontmatter. This approach enforces consistent discovery and activation rules regardless of the specific domain context.
The best way to enforce governance policies for skill activation is to centralize skill metadata with YAML frontmatter and document the governance practices directly in the Markdown body. This enforces a minimal required set of fields and operational rules.
