FAQPage Schema

How do I automate generating a SKILL.md file from an approved spec?▼

To automate SKILL.md generation, invoke the meta-skill with a target skill name to convert approved specs and plans into a ready-to-use artifact, enforcing frontmatter and structure conventions.

What is the best way to update an existing Jim plugin skill?▼

Updating an existing Jim plugin skill is best handled by synchronizing the skills/{name}/SKILL.md file from an approved plan, validating frontmatter correctness and overall structure alignment.

Do I need an approved spec and plan before building a Jim skill?▼

Yes, an approved spec and plan are required before building a Jim skill, as the automation coordinates gates for spec, research, and plan documents to generate the final SKILL.md artifact.

How does spec-guided skill-building enforce metadata correctness?▼

Spec-guided skill-building enforces metadata correctness by validating frontmatter fields like name, description, and agent, ensuring the generated SKILL.md aligns with plugin conventions.

Can I add custom scripts or references when creating a SKILL.md file?▼

Creating a SKILL.md supports future extension with optional resources like scripts, references, and assets that the file can orchestrate after the initial generation from approved specs.

Why does my Jim skill generation fail during the spec or plan gates?▼

Jim skill generation fails during gates when the spec or plan documents are not approved, as the automation requires validated inputs to coordinate the spec, research, and plan stages correctly.
