FAQPage Schema
How do I create reusable agent skills that persist across sessions?▼

To create reusable agent skills, define new workflows and document them in a SKILL.md file. This preserves knowledge across sessions, ensuring consistent task handling and reducing repeated setup.

What is YAML frontmatter and why is it needed for skill documentation?▼

YAML frontmatter provides structured metadata for skill discovery. Enforcing frontmatter with name and description fields ensures your documented workflows are identifiable and reusable by agents across different sessions.

How do I organize agent skills for discovery and iterative improvement?▼

Organize agent skills by saving them under the .agents/skills/ directory structure. Place each skill in its own folder, such as .agents/skills/your-skill-name/SKILL.md, to enable proper discovery.

Can I include optional resources directories when authoring agent workflows?▼

Yes, skill authoring recognizes optional resources directories within the skill folder. These directories store supplementary files alongside your SKILL.md to support complex workflows and provide additional context for agents.

What's the best way to document workflows for future use and handoffs?▼

Document workflows for handoffs by creating a SKILL.md file with required YAML frontmatter. This structured approach captures procedures and knowledge, making them discoverable and reusable for future agent sessions.
