FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a Skill unit with valid SKILL.md frontmatter?▼

To generate a Skill unit, run the init_skill.py script to scaffold a new directory and enforce SKILL.md frontmatter validity, ensuring required name and description fields are correctly structured for deployment.

What is progressive disclosure design in Skill packaging?▼

Progressive disclosure design structures Skills so optional resources like scripts, references, and assets are loaded on-demand only when described in the SKILL.md body, reducing initial overhead and maintaining robust workflows.

How do I scaffold directory structures for new Skills?▼

You can scaffold directory structures by running the init_skill.py script, which bootstraps a new Skill directory under your chosen path and creates standardized folders for scripts, references, and assets.

Do I need to manually validate frontmatter when creating Skills?▼

You do not need to manually validate frontmatter because the Skill scaffolding process automatically enforces frontmatter validity, checking that required name and description fields meet packaging guidelines.

What are the packaging guidelines for deploying Skills safely?▼

Packaging guidelines for safe Skill deployment require valid SKILL.md frontmatter, a structured Markdown body, and correctly organized optional resources to ensure repeatable and progressive workflows.

Can I use existing scripts and references when scaffolding a Skill?▼

You can include existing scripts and references when scaffolding a Skill by placing them in the generated scripts/ and references/ directories, which are structured for on-demand usage as described in SKILL.md.
