Frequently Asked Questions about skill-creator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new AI skill within the ai-system directory?

To create a new AI skill, you must set up a directory containing a mandatory `SKILL.md` file with YAML frontmatter and a Markdown body, an `INDEX.md` for chapter listings, and a `chapters/` directory for content files. This ensures consistent skill development and discoverability.

What is the required structure for a SKILL.md file when building AI skills?

The `SKILL.md` structure requires mandatory YAML frontmatter, specifically the `name` and `description` metadata fields, followed by a Markdown body. This standardization ensures clear metadata parsing and consistent documentation for your AI skill framework.

How do I organize chapter files for a new skill framework?

You organize chapter files by placing them inside a `chapters/` directory and listing them in an `INDEX.md` file. Chapter files should be authored as self-contained, scannable Markdown documents to maintain clarity within the skill framework.

When do I need to use YAML frontmatter in skill creation?

You need to use YAML frontmatter in skill creation whenever you define a new AI skill in `SKILL.md`. It specifies mandatory metadata like `name` and `description`, which guarantees the skill is properly registered and discoverable within the standardized framework.

What is the best way to standardize AI development documentation across multiple skills?

The best way to standardize AI development documentation is to follow a consistent directory layout using `SKILL.md`, `INDEX.md`, and `chapters/` files. This framework enforces uniform metadata formats and self-contained chapter authoring guidelines.
