SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing a well-structured Skill from scratch is error-prone: authors often forget required frontmatter fields, write descriptions that fail discovery, or omit verification steps. This template gives a complete, opinionated skeleton so every new Skill follows the same proven structure. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Standardized Frontmatter: Enforces the mandatory `name` and trigger-focused `description` fields used for skill discovery. - Complete Section Scaffold: Includes Overview, When to Use, Core Pattern with anti-pattern/best-practice code blocks, Step-by-Step Workflow, Quick Reference table, Verification checklist, and Common Mistakes table. - Use Case: When creating a new agent skill (e.g., a PDF extraction skill), copy this template, replace the placeholders, and fill each section to produce a consistent, discoverable SKILL.md. ## Quick Start Copy this template into a new directory and ask the AI to fill in each placeholder section to define your new skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I create a new AI agent skill?▼

Create a directory containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter defining a name and description, followed by Markdown instructions. This template provides all required sections so you only need to replace the placeholder content.

What should a skill description contain?▼

The description must describe when to use the skill, including triggering conditions, symptoms, or specific errors. It should never summarize the workflow and should stay under 500 characters for effective discovery.

What sections should a SKILL.md file include?▼

A complete SKILL.md includes Overview, When to Use triggers, Core Pattern with anti-pattern and best-practice examples, Step-by-Step Workflow, Quick Reference table, Verification checklist, and Common Mistakes table.

When should I not use this skill template?▼

Do not use this template for skills that already exist and only need edits, or for simple one-line prompts that do not need structured workflows. It is designed for authoring new, non-trivial skills from scratch.
