SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creating new Agent Skills or duplicating existing templates manually is error-prone and inconsistent. This meta-skill automates scaffolding by generating a complete SKILL.md with required frontmatter and a ready-to-extend folder layout.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a ready-to-use Skill Unit skeleton from prompts or existing templates.
  • Creates a standardized frontmatter with name and description, and outlines optional bundled resources (scripts, references, assets).
  • Helps teams duplicate or scaffold skills consistently, speeding onboarding and governance for Agent Skills.

Quick Start

Create a new folder under skills/<your-skill-name>/ and run the scaffolding tool to generate SKILL.md and the required structure.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new Agent Skill folder structure automatically?▼

Scaffolding a new Agent Skill involves generating a complete skeleton with a properly structured SKILL.md file, enforcing YAML frontmatter for name and description, and creating a ready-to-extend folder layout.

What files do I need in an Agent Skill skeleton?▼

An Agent Skill skeleton requires a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter defining the name and description, alongside a scaffolded directory structure that optionally includes scripts, references, and assets.

Why does my generated SKILL.md frontmatter fail validation?▼

Frontmatter validation fails when the YAML block lacks mandatory fields. The scaffolding process enforces strict YAML frontmatter requiring both name and description properties to ensure proper skill unit structure.

Can I duplicate an existing Agent Skill template programmatically?▼

Yes, you can duplicate an existing Agent Skill template programmatically. The scaffolding tool applies standardized templates to generate a new skill unit, copying the folder structure and required files consistently.

What is the best way to standardize Agent Skill creation for a team?▼

The best way to standardize Agent Skill creation is to use an automated scaffolding generator. It enforces consistent YAML frontmatter and directory structures, speeding up onboarding and governance for all team members.
