FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Code Buddy skill with the correct folder structure and SKILL.md format?

To create a Code Buddy skill, you generate a standardized SKILL.md file containing frontmatter with name, version, and description, followed by a Markdown body with Overview, When to Use, and Workflow sections, optionally adding scripts, references, or assets directories.

What is the required frontmatter and body structure for a valid SKILL.md file?

A valid SKILL.md file requires frontmatter specifying the name, version, and description, plus a Markdown body that must include Overview, When to Use, and Workflow sections to ensure standardization and pass validation.

How do I validate a Code Buddy skill before packaging it?

You validate a Code Buddy skill by running the Skill Builder to check the SKILL.md frontmatter, confirm the required Markdown body sections are present, and verify any optional resource directories like scripts, references, or assets.

When do I need to add optional resource directories like scripts and assets to my skill?

You add optional resource directories like scripts, references, or assets when your skill requires supporting files to enable deterministic execution or provide richer documentation alongside the core SKILL.md file.

Does Code Buddy skill validation work for both bundled and workspace skill locations?

Yes, Code Buddy skill validation applies to designing, packaging, and validating skills across both bundled and workspace locations, ensuring the SKILL.md frontmatter and body sections meet the standardized template requirements.
