FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize SKILL.md documentation formatting and structure?

Standardize SKILL.md documentation by applying an optimizer that enforces YAML frontmatter, reframes the opening into a concise Introduction and Features, and reorganizes long sections. This process improves description quality and section structure while preserving the original behavior of your Skill unit.

What is the Skills MD Standard Format for YAML frontmatter and content?

The Skills MD Standard Format requires YAML frontmatter with clearly defined name and description fields, a fixed opening structure with Introduction and Features sections, and references for longer content. It ensures documentation consistency and removes redundant content to reduce token costs.

Can I optimize legacy SKILL.md files without changing their underlying behavior?

Yes, you can optimize legacy SKILL.md files without changing behavior. The optimization process improves description quality, section structure, and formatting while explicitly preserving the original functionality of your Skill unit during the standardization process.

How do I reduce token costs in markdown documentation?

Reduce token costs in markdown documentation by slimming content and removing redundant text. The standardization optimizer unifies terminology and reorganizes empty or long sections to create a concise version, which directly lowers the token overhead of your SKILL.md files.

Do I need to manually review SKILL.md files to bring them up to standard?

No, you do not need to manually review SKILL.md files to bring them up to standard. You can run the optimizer on your target SKILL.md to automatically generate a standardized, concise version that meets the Skills MD Standard Format.
