SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenProse skill discovery and metadata management enables teams to reliably identify, validate, and activate modular skills within the FoxFang/OpenProse ecosystem.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a SKILL.md frontmatter at the skill's root that defines the skill's identity with a name and description, enabling consistent discovery.
  • Uses the Markdown body as the activation instructions loaded into context when the skill is activated.
  • Supports optional resources (scripts/, references/, assets/) to augment the skill without impacting core activation.

Real-world uses include catalog auditing, onboarding new skills, and automated validation of skill definitions across projects.

Quick Start

Inspect the SKILL.md to verify the skill's identity and the enabling activation instructions, then load the body during activation.

FAQPage Schema
How does OpenProse skill discovery and metadata management work?

OpenProse skill discovery indexes skill semantics by enforcing a SKILL.md file at the skill root with YAML frontmatter for identity and a Markdown body for activation instructions. This enables consistent discovery, validation, and activation across environments.

What is the required format for documenting skills with YAML frontmatter?

Documenting skills with YAML frontmatter requires a SKILL.md file at the skill root containing at least a name and description for identity validation, plus a Markdown body used as the activation instructions loaded into context.

How do I validate OpenProse skill definitions across projects?

To validate OpenProse skill definitions, inspect the SKILL.md file to verify the required name and description in the YAML frontmatter. This enables automated validation of skill definitions and consistent catalog auditing across projects.

Can I include optional resources like scripts and references when defining a skill?

Yes, you can include optional resources such as scripts, references, and assets directories to augment an OpenProse skill. These supplementary resources augment the skill without impacting the core activation instructions defined in the SKILL.md body.

What is the best way to activate a skill using a local OpenProse VM?

The best way to activate a skill using a local OpenProse VM is to inspect the SKILL.md to verify its identity, then load the Markdown body into the context. This Markdown body directly serves as the activation instructions.

Do I need a SKILL.md file to onboard new skills into the OpenProse ecosystem?

Yes, a SKILL.md file is strictly required at the skill root to onboard new skills into the OpenProse ecosystem. It must contain YAML frontmatter with a name and description to define the skill's identity for reliable discovery.
