What is included in MR-ready Kiro skill development?▼

MR-ready Kiro skill development includes enforcing frontmatter correctness, defining a clear workflow outline, and preparing agent wiring and references for direct contribution to the kiro-agents repository.

How do I turn a conversation into a ready-to-contribute SKILL.md artifact?▼

You can turn a conversation into a SKILL.md artifact by applying the skill-builder to extract the logic, enforce frontmatter correctness, and scaffold the directory structure and evals for MR-ready submission.

Does Kiro skill scaffolding automatically include evaluation templates?▼

Yes, Kiro skill scaffolding includes evals/evals.json templates and guidance for testing and validation. This ensures new skills have baseline evaluation structures for consistent quality checks.

What's the best way to enforce frontmatter correctness in Kiro skills?▼

The best way to enforce frontmatter correctness is to use a scaffolding process that validates the SKILL.md metadata structure during creation or updates, ensuring consistent frontmatter across all contributed skills.

Can I update an existing Kiro skill without rebuilding the directory from scratch?▼

Yes, you can update an existing Kiro skill by refining its SKILL.md frontmatter, workflow outline, and optional evals without rebuilding the entire directory structure from scratch.
