FAQPage Schema
How do I automate scaffolding new skills with a CLI workflow?

Scaffolding new skills automates creation of skill structure by generating SKILL.md and CHANGELOG files through a guided CLI workflow. The skill-builder runs a Bash-based skillstack CLI that validates your skill slug, enforces naming rules, and outputs ready-to-edit templates for bootstrap and integration.

What slug naming rules does the skill scaffolding tool enforce?

The scaffolding tool enforces slug naming rules during validation to ensure consistent skill identifiers. It rejects invalid slugs before generating SKILL.md and CHANGELOG, preventing non-compliant skill definitions from entering the bootstrap process.

Can I use the CLI workflow to bootstrap and publish skills into the store?

Yes. After scaffolding generates SKILL.md and CHANGELOG via the guided CLI workflow, the tool guides you through bootstrap and publish steps to integrate your new skill into the skills store.

What files does the skill scaffolding process create?

The scaffolding process creates SKILL.md containing your skill definition and CHANGELOG tracking initial setup and bootstrap steps. Both files are generated as ready-to-edit templates from your slug and description input.

Does skill scaffolding require Bash and the skillstack CLI?

Yes. The scaffolding relies on Bash and the bundled skillstack CLI to execute the guided workflow, validate slugs, and generate SKILL.md and CHANGELOG files during the bootstrap process.
