What is the required structure for a valid SKILL.md file?▼

A valid SKILL.md file requires YAML frontmatter with name and description fields, followed by a markdown body. Optional scripts, references, and assets can be organized into dedicated directories for resource management.

How do I validate a custom skill before sharing it across projects?▼

Yes, skill-creator standardizes skill design and resource management, enabling practitioners to build reusable templates with consistent frontmatter and documentation across multiple organizations and projects.

What are the limitations when customizing a generated skill template?▼

Generated templates must pass the built-in validation step enforcing strict YAML frontmatter requirements and structural compliance, meaning custom additions to SKILL.md or assets must adhere to the specified format.
