FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new skill with a validated documentation template?

To scaffold new skills, this tool generates a canonical folder at skills/<category>/<skill-name>/ containing a SKILL.md file with validated frontmatter, ensuring SPECS compliance and consistent cross-linked documentation structure.

What files are generated when scaffolding skill documentation?

Scaffolding skill documentation produces a SKILL.md file at the directory root, alongside optional STACK.md, RECIPES.md, and supporting resource directories to ensure complete and discoverable skill units.

How does automated skill scaffolding ensure SPECS compliance?

Automated skill scaffolding ensures SPECS compliance by verifying that frontmatter includes name, version, and description, and by checking that the body structure and cross-links conform to the required specifications.

Can I use skill scaffolding templates for interview-first documentation?

Yes, you can use skill scaffolding templates for interview-first documentation, as the tool enables rapid scaffolding and SPECS updates to accelerate the authoring of structured skill units.

Do I need prior dependencies to automate workflow and skill scaffolding?

You do not need any prior dependencies to automate workflow and skill scaffolding, as the tool operates independently to generate compliant folders, validate frontmatter, and update SPECS.

When should I use an automated scaffold instead of manually creating skill folders?

You should use an automated scaffold instead of manually creating skill folders when you need consistent structure, rapid interview-first authoring, and guaranteed SPECS compliance across multiple skill units.
