FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new AI skill or slash command with the correct directory structure?

To scaffold a new AI skill, you can use this tool to automatically generate the proper directory structure along with a templated SKILL.md file. This ensures your custom skills and slash commands are set up correctly from the start.

Can I create user-scoped and project-scoped skills using a scaffolding script?

Yes, you can create both user-scoped and project-scoped skills. The scaffolding process supports specifying an exact project path, allowing you to initialize the skill structure either globally for a user or locally within a specific project.

What is the fastest way to generate a SKILL.md template for developer tools?

The fastest way to generate a SKILL.md template is by running a scaffolding command that initializes the skill directory and automatically populates the foundational SKILL.md file. This streamlines adding new developer tools to your workflow.

Does the skill scaffolding process require any specific dependencies or environments?

The skill scaffolding process requires a Python environment to run the initialization script. It operates with no external dependencies, utilizing the script to directly generate your skill directories and templated files.

When should I use an automated scaffolding script instead of manually creating skill directories?

You should use an automated scaffolding script when you need to quickly add multiple AI features and want to guarantee a correct directory structure. It prevents manual configuration errors and saves time when setting up new developer tools.
