FAQPage Schema
How do I structure an AI skill for coding agents?▼

To structure an AI skill, you need a `SKILL.md` file and optional bundled resources like `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/` directories to package logic and data.

What are the best practices for writing SKILL.md content?▼

Best practices for `SKILL.md` content include using YAML frontmatter, applying progressive disclosure, and following naming conventions to ensure your AI skills are discoverable and maintainable.

How do I validate and test AI skills before deployment?▼

You can validate and test AI skills by utilizing specialized built-in audit skills to review your `SKILL.md` content and ensure quality, consistency, and effectiveness before deployment.

What is progressive disclosure in AI skill development?▼

Progressive disclosure is a writing best practice for AI skills that structures `SKILL.md` content to present information gradually, ensuring AI coding agents process instructions effectively without being overwhelmed.

Can I bundle scripts and references with my AI agent skill?▼

Yes, you can bundle scripts and references with your AI agent skill by organizing them into `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/` directories alongside your core `SKILL.md` file.

Why are my AI skills not being discovered by coding agents?▼

AI skills may not be discovered if they lack proper YAML frontmatter, fail to follow naming conventions, or do not adhere to the progressive disclosure writing style outlined in skill development best practices.
