A SKILL.md file defines modular agent workflows by providing a frontmatter with name and description, followed by a body that structures the skill's scope and artifacts. This format keeps agent skills lean and actionable through progressive disclosure.

To create an AI agent skill, you start by writing a SKILL.md file with required frontmatter containing a name and description. You then add a concise body for activation and organize bundled resources like scripts, references, and assets in their respective directories.

You organize bundled resources like scripts, references, and assets when building real-world agent skills that require supporting files. These resources are structured under specific directories to maintain modular architecture and keep the SKILL.md file lean.

No specific dependencies are required to build agent skills. The skill-creator provides a blueprint for structuring SKILL.md files and bundled resources, requiring only valid frontmatter with a name and description to define the skill unit.

The best way to validate SKILL.md frontmatter is to ensure it contains the required name and description fields. This validation keeps the skill activated and enables progressive disclosure of bundled resources without cluttering the core definition.

To update an existing agent skill, you modify its SKILL.md file while maintaining the required frontmatter. You can also adjust bundled resources organized under scripts, references, and assets to reflect changes in the skill's scope and artifacts.
