The required SKILL.md metadata format includes a frontmatter section with name and description fields, optionally a version field, and a Markdown body. This structure ensures operational loading and discoverability across skill directories.

Yes, you can verify the version format in skill metadata. The validation process checks that metadata.version is present and properly formatted for versioned skills, ensuring correct catalog consistency and operational loading.

Skill onboarding fails due to missing frontmatter because the validation enforces required name and description fields in SKILL.md. Catching missing or malformed metadata during onboarding prevents incomplete skill documentation.
