To create a Copilot Skill, use a guided SKILL.md template with required YAML frontmatter fields like name and description. Run the init_skill.py script to scaffold the skill folder structure, then customize the content body to define your skill's behavior.

YAML frontmatter validation checks that your SKILL.md file includes required metadata fields like name and description. The quick_validate.py script enforces naming conventions and ensures basic structural integrity before packaging your Copilot Skill for publishing.

Package a Copilot Skill by running the package_skill.py script after validating your SKILL.md and resource directories. This workflow ensures your documentation, scripts, references, and assets meet structural requirements before the skill is ready for team distribution.

Yes, you need Python to run the init_skill.py, quick_validate.py, and package_skill.py scripts provided by the skill-creator tooling. The YAML dependency is also required to parse and validate the frontmatter metadata in your SKILL.md file.

Structure optional resources by creating separate directories for scripts, references, and assets within your skill folder. Use init_skill.py to scaffold these directories, supporting deterministic tasks and providing rich context for your Copilot Skill's operations.

Copilot Skill validation fails when the YAML frontmatter is missing required fields like name or description, or when naming conventions are not followed. Run quick_validate.py to identify specific structural integrity issues in your updated SKILL.md file.
