FAQPage Schema
How do I apply project-specific design guidelines to a SKILL.md file?

To apply project-specific design guidelines to a SKILL.md file, use a structured evaluation framework that loads centralized guidance notes and reads frontmatter cautions to assess alignment during skill creation or modification.

What is the best way to standardize skill design and reduce quality drift?

Standardizing skill design involves loading centralized design guidelines and evaluating SKILL.md against defined criteria. This repeatable process reduces quality drift and ensures consistent alignment with project policies before deployment.

How does a skill review workflow handle frontmatter cautions?

A skill review workflow reads frontmatter cautions directly from the SKILL.md file, loading these notes alongside centralized design guidance to evaluate the skill against project-specific criteria and identify potential policy conflicts.

When do I need to run a design review for skill creation?

You need to run a design review for skill creation when updating existing SKILL.md files or deploying new ones. It evaluates quality and alignment with policy, serving as a practical workflow to improve skills before release.

Can I use this skill review process for editing existing SKILL.md files?

Yes, you can use this skill review process for editing existing SKILL.md files. It loads guidance notes and applies project-specific design guidelines to evaluate modifications, ensuring updated skills maintain quality and policy alignment.

What are the limitations of evaluating SKILL.md without centralized guidance notes?

Evaluating SKILL.md without centralized guidance notes leads to inconsistent design standards and quality drift. The framework relies on loading these notes to provide a structured evaluation and ensure alignment with project-specific criteria.
