This template provides a standardized scaffold for Skill Units, ensuring each unit has a SKILL.md with mandatory frontmatter and a detectable root structure. It also surfaces a metadata surface that downstream tooling can consume to automate skill discovery and onboarding.
Create a new skill directory under skills/ with a SKILL.md frontmatter containing name and description, and optionally add scripts/, references/, or assets/ as needed.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To scaffold a skill repository, create a new directory under skills/ containing a SKILL.md file with mandatory YAML frontmatter fields for name and description, then optionally add scripts, references, or assets directories for component integration.
SKILL.md frontmatter validation checks for the mandatory presence of name and description fields, then compiles optional metadata including tagline, request, complexity, category, keywords, dependencies, components, and toxicity flags into a structured payload.
Skill automation detects optional components by checking the newly created skill directory for the presence of scripts/, references/, and assets/ subdirectories, surfacing their availability for on-demand integration during the onboarding process.
Yes, you can use this template to generate a metadata payload. It compiles validated frontmatter and detected components into a structured object that downstream tooling consumes to automate skill discovery and onboarding.
The best way to pass frontmatter checks is to include both name and description fields in your SKILL.md YAML frontmatter and organize your skill directory under the skills/ path to trigger the automated validation process.
Skill directory validation fails when the SKILL.md file is missing or lacks the mandatory name and description frontmatter fields required to enforce the standardized scaffold for skill units.
