FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new AI skill from scratch?

Create a skill skeleton by running `scripts/init_skill.py my-skill --path skills/public`, which generates the foundational structure with YAML frontmatter, SKILL.md documentation, and organized resource directories for scripts, references, and assets.

What's the best way to structure a custom skill for my workflow?

Organize your skill with progressive disclosure: define metadata in YAML frontmatter, document requirements and use cases in SKILL.md, and bundle domain-specific scripts, references, and assets in modular subdirectories for maintainability and reuse.

Can I package and distribute a completed skill?

Yes, use `scripts/package_skill.py skills/public/my-skill ./dist` to bundle your completed skill with all dependencies, documentation, and resources into a distributable package ready for deployment.

What metadata and documentation do I need to include in a skill?

Include YAML frontmatter with name and description, comprehensive SKILL.md with functional and technical requirements, and organize optional bundled resources—scripts for automation, references for guidance, and assets for supporting materials.

When should I create a custom skill instead of using existing tools?

Create a custom skill when your domain requires specialized workflows, custom tool integrations, or domain-specific reference materials that existing general-purpose tools cannot efficiently address.

Do I need scripting experience to build an effective skill?

Basic scripting knowledge helps, but the structured guidance covers planning, resource organization, and best practices; the `scripts/` component automates initialization and packaging, reducing technical friction for skill creation.
