skill-template

A skill template with YAML frontmatter provides a standardized scaffold for PopKit skill authors, ensuring mandatory fields like name, description, allowed-tools, and version are present for consistent activation.

To create a new skill using a starter template, replace every placeholder with your skill's details and rename the directory to your skill's slug, building documentation through the provided modular sections.

You do not need any external dependencies to start authoring PopKit skills, as the skill template operates independently to provide the required YAML frontmatter and documentation structure scaffolding.

The best way to refactor an existing skill to the PopKit standard is applying this template scaffold to enforce mandatory frontmatter fields and standardize the modular documentation body for consistent usage guidance.

Mandatory fields required in PopKit skill frontmatter include name, description, allowed-tools, and version, which the template enforces to ensure consistent skill documentation and activation flow.
