FAQPage Schema
How do I validate markdown frontmatter for skill discovery?

Skill discovery requires a SKILL.md file with frontmatter containing name and description fields. You provide the directory path to the skild tool, which parses the markdown and validates metadata extraction for agent context loading.

What is a minimal SKILL.md file format for agent context loading?

A minimal SKILL.md file requires frontmatter with name and description fields, an optional version, and a minimal body. This self-contained structure enables the skild tool to discover and load the unit into agent context.

How to test skill unit installation workflows with a lightweight example?

Test skill unit installation workflows by applying the skild tool to the examples/hello-skill directory. This lightweight example validates discovery, metadata extraction, and loading without complex dependencies or additional components.

Do I need dependencies to create a testable markdown skill unit?

No dependencies are required to create a testable markdown skill unit. The hello-skill example operates with zero dependencies, using only a self-contained SKILL.md file with frontmatter to validate discovery and activation workflows.

What metadata is extracted from SKILL.md frontmatter during skill discovery?

During skill discovery, the skild tool extracts the name and description from the SKILL.md frontmatter. Version is optionally parsed if present, allowing classification and validation of the skill unit before loading into agent context.

When should I use a minimal skill unit for discovery validation?

Use a minimal skill unit for discovery validation when you need to test tooling and workflows for skill installation safely. It confirms frontmatter parsing and metadata extraction without the overhead of complex dependencies or components.
