FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new Manus skill with the correct folder structure?

To create a Manus skill, run the init_skill.py script to automatically scaffold directories, generate a SKILL.md file with frontmatter, and create example resource folders like scripts/ and references/.

What is the best way to enforce naming conventions and metadata validation when building skills?

The best way to enforce naming conventions and metadata validation is to use the Skill's built-in validation hooks, which check your SKILL.md frontmatter and structure for consistency during creation or updates.

Can I update an existing skill's frontmatter and templates using scaffolding automation?

Yes, you can update existing skills by running the scaffolding automation, which regenerates template skeletons and validates metadata to ensure your updated skill structure remains consistent.

Do I need YAML to define frontmatter for skill metadata generation?

Yes, you need YAML to define frontmatter because the Skill depends on YAML formatting to structure, validate, and enforce the metadata conventions required for Manus skill creation.

What files and directories are included in an automated skill scaffold?

An automated skill scaffold includes a SKILL.md file with frontmatter and a basic body, plus example resource directories such as scripts/, references/, and templates/ for organizing bundled assets.

Why does my skill validation fail when I customize the generated SKILL.md?

Skill validation fails when customized SKILL.md content violates enforced naming conventions or metadata formatting rules, requiring you to align your updates with the provided validation templates.
