FAQPage Schema
How do I list all skills in a directory by parsing YAML frontmatter?

To locate skills in a directory, scan the root folder and parse the YAML frontmatter within each subfolder's SKILL.md file to extract the skill name and description, returning the results in a structured table.

How do I filter skills by partial name during a directory lookup?

You can filter skills by applying a partial skill name match during the directory scan, which limits the returned YAML frontmatter parsing results to only the skills matching your specified name criteria.

What is the best way to discover user skills stored in local folders?

The best way to discover user skills in local folders is to perform a directory scan that reads the SKILL.md frontmatter from each subfolder, extracting the name and description for quick navigation.

Does the skill discovery process require any external dependencies?

No external dependencies are required for skill discovery, as the process relies entirely on parsing the YAML frontmatter directly from SKILL.md files within the specified root directory structure.

Can I search for a specific skill description across a skills directory?

Yes, you can search across a skills directory by scanning each SKILL.md file, which extracts the YAML frontmatter descriptions and formats them into a structured table for easy lookup and comparison.
