To scaffold a new agent skill, enforce mandatory YAML frontmatter fields like name and description, then generate a structured SKILL.md body with When to use, Steps, and Verify sections for protocol compliance.

The required format for skill discovery includes YAML frontmatter with valid name and description fields for indexing, followed by a structured instructional body containing When to use, Steps, and Verify sections.

Create a repeatable authoring workflow by applying standardized directory naming under .github/skills, clarifying scope, and drafting a verifiable steps-based SKILL.md scaffold with required metadata.

Quality gates for generating an agent skills template include enforcing mandatory metadata fields, checking directory naming conventions, and validating the presence of structured body sections like When to use, Steps, and Verify.

Yes, template compliance requires specific body sections. Your skill scaffold must include dedicated sections for When to use, Steps, and Verify to align with progressive disclosure expectations and protocol standards.

Use a structured skill scaffold instead of manual authoring when you need to encode a repeatable process for discovery and activation, reducing naming mistakes and missing metadata in new agent skills.
