To package custom agent skills, create a folder with a SKILL.md file containing required frontmatter like name and description. You can then add optional manifests and directories for scripts, references, and assets to ensure consistent loading.

Skill frontmatter requires a defined name and description to ensure discoverability. Version and author fields are also included in the frontmatter to standardize how skills are authored and loaded by the agent.

Yes, you can include external tooling when building modular skills by adding a manifest.json, Cargo.toml, or package.json file. Optional directories for scripts, references, and assets can also be used to enrich the module.

The best way to distribute custom skill modules is to package them with enforced frontmatter and optional tool manifests, then follow the provided guidance for publishing to the registry and loading the module in the Octos agent.

Agent skill loading may fail if the SKILL.md file does not enforce the required frontmatter-defined name and description. Ensuring consistent discovery requires strict adherence to this modular packaging structure.

You do not need a manifest.json to extend agent skills, as tooling integration is optional. However, providing a manifest.json, Cargo.toml, or package.json enables explicit tooling support for deployment.
