What problem does it solve?
Creating and maintaining effective Skill units is error-prone without a standardized blueprint. This guide provides a concrete framework to design, document, and package skills that can be shared and reused across teams.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Defines a minimal SKILL.md frontmatter with required name and description, plus optional fields like license and compatibility.
- Specifies a clean directory structure (skill-name/, SKILL.md, and optional scripts/, references/, assets/) to enable predictable loading and packaging.
- Recommends progressive disclosure and modular references to keep context windows lean while preserving depth of knowledge for complex skills.
- Useful for onboarding new contributors, maintaining consistent skill semantics, and enabling reliable skill packaging.
Quick Start
Run the skill initialization workflow to scaffold a new skill and customize its frontmatter and body.
