SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill serves as a minimal, self-contained portable skill definition used to verify that agent plugins can discover and load skill units from a skills directory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Portable Skill Definition: Defines a standalone skill with only a SKILL.md entry point and no external resources.
  • Plugin Loading Test: Acts as test fixture data for validating skill discovery in the Compozy extension system.
  • Use Case: When developing or testing an agent plugin that loads multiple skills, this unit confirms the loader correctly parses frontmatter name and description fields.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to use portable skill 27 to confirm the skill loads and its instructions are applied.

FAQPage Schema
What is a portable skill in an agent plugin?▼

A portable skill is a self-contained directory with a SKILL.md file containing YAML frontmatter with a name and description. The markdown body provides instructions loaded into the agent's context when the skill is activated.

How do I create a minimal skill for an agent?▼

Create a directory containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter defining a name and description, followed by markdown instructions. No scripts, references, or assets directories are required for a basic skill.

Does a skill require scripts or references directories?▼

No, scripts, references, and assets directories are optional. A valid skill only requires a SKILL.md file with name and description in its frontmatter, as demonstrated by this minimal fixture.

Why is my skill not being discovered by the plugin?▼

Skill discovery fails when SKILL.md is missing, misnamed, or lacks valid YAML frontmatter with name and description fields. Verify the file sits at the skill directory root and the frontmatter parses correctly.
