What problem does it solve?
This Skill reduces friction when creating and maintaining SKILL.md-based skills by providing clear templates, step-by-step guidance, and tooling to initialize, generate UI metadata, and validate skill folders so developers avoid inconsistent metadata and context bloat.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Scaffold & Initialization: Includes a SKILL.md template and an init_skill.py script to create a properly structured skill directory.
- Metadata Generation: Provides generate_openai_yaml.py and guidance for producing agents/openai.yaml with display_name, short_description, and default_prompt.
- Validation & Best Practices: Supplies quick_validate.py and documentation on when to include scripts, references, and assets. Use cases include bootstrapping a new domain skill, updating an existing skill's metadata, and enforcing frontmatter constraints across a skills repository.
Quick Start
Run the init_skill.py script with a normalized skill name and path to generate a SKILL.md template, optional resource folders, and agents/openai.yaml.
