SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Templates in this repository enforce a uniform structure for Skill Units by requiring a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter, enabling consistent discovery, loading, and reuse across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized metadata via YAML frontmatter to support automated indexing and search.
  • Operational instructions live in the Markdown body for activation-time guidance.
  • Supports optional assets such as scripts/ references/ assets to extend capabilities.

Quick Start

  • Create a new Skill Unit directory and add SKILL.md with required frontmatter (name and description).
  • Populate the Markdown body with instructions that will be loaded when the skill is activated.
  • Optionally add scripts/, references/, and assets/ subdirectories to extend functionality.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a SKILL.md file to ensure consistent discovery and loading?▼

To structure SKILL.md for consistent discovery and loading, include YAML frontmatter with required name and description fields for automated indexing, then place operational instructions in the Markdown body for activation-time guidance.

What is a Skill Unit and when do I need to use this template?▼

A Skill Unit is a standardized directory structure containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter. You need this template when you want to enforce uniform metadata structure and enable consistent reuse of skills across multiple projects.

Can I add custom scripts and references to a Skill Unit directory?▼

Yes, you can augment a Skill Unit by adding optional scripts, references, and assets subdirectories alongside the SKILL.md file to extend the skill's behavior and capabilities beyond the base metadata.

What's the best way to standardize metadata for automated skill indexing?▼

The best way to standardize metadata for automated skill indexing is using YAML frontmatter in your SKILL.md file, which provides a uniform structure that supports automated search and consistent loading across projects.

Do I need any dependencies to create a standardized Skill Unit?▼

No dependencies are required to create a standardized Skill Unit. You only need to create a directory with a SKILL.md file containing the required name and description frontmatter fields.

Why does my skill activation fail to load operational instructions?▼

Skill activation may fail to load operational instructions if they are not placed in the Markdown body of the SKILL.md file, as the body is specifically designed to provide activation-time guidance.
