You standardize in-repo SKILL.md by using a peer-aligned frontmatter template that validates required fields like name, description, and version, preventing structural drift and improving skill discoverability.

The correct repository placement for Hermes skills is the skills/<category>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md directory path, ensuring files are properly organized and discoverable by validation tooling.

You validate SKILL.md content by running validation steps that check required frontmatter fields and peer-aligned formatting against repository conventions, ensuring well-formed skills before committing.

The standard workflow for creating in-repo skills involves inspecting two peer skills in the target category, drafting the file, validating content against repo conventions, and committing the completed skill.

In-repo skill authoring has inconsistent formatting when lacking a standardized frontmatter template. Enforcing peer-aligned structure with required fields harmonizes creation and prevents structural drift across projects.

You need tooling that validates content against repo conventions to manage Hermes skills effectively. This validation checks SKILL.md structure and frontmatter to ensure skills remain well-formed and discoverable.
