FAQPage Schema
How do I create an AutoDesk skill with the correct SKILL.md frontmatter?

To create an AutoDesk skill, add a SKILL.md file in a new directory and include mandatory frontmatter fields for name and description. This establishes the canonical structure needed for the agent to recognize and load the skill.

What is the recommended directory layout for building agent skills?

The recommended directory layout for agent skills includes a root skill-name directory containing the SKILL.md file, alongside optional subdirectories for scripts, references, and assets to organize supporting files.

How does metadata validation work for AutoDesk skill units?

Metadata validation works by locating a root SKILL.md file and checking for mandatory frontmatter fields. It then derives metadata like tagline, complexity, and keywords, and outputs a YAML block with a safety assessment.

What fields are required in a SKILL.md file to make an agent skill valid?

The mandatory fields required in a SKILL.md file to make an agent skill valid are name and description within the frontmatter. The validation process checks these fields before deriving additional metadata.

Can I include optional scripts and references when creating a skill template?

Yes, you can include optional scripts and references when creating a skill template. The recommended directory layout supports these optional subdirectories to help you reference supporting files within the SKILL.md body.

How is safety evaluated for newly created AutoDesk skills?

Safety is evaluated during the metadata derivation process, which outputs a single YAML metadata block for every valid skill. This block contains the required fields alongside the specific safety assessment.
