skill-template

Standardize agent skill metadata by creating a mandatory SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter. This enforces consistent discovery and activation by requiring specific name and description fields alongside structured body content for context engineering.

The SKILL.md frontmatter template requires name and description fields to establish clear identity. The body must include activation guidance, core concepts, topics, and practical guidance to ensure reliable context activation and discoverability across the repository.

Create a new skill unit by making a directory with a SKILL.md file following the frontmatter template. This bootstraps the skill with standard metadata, activation content, and structured guidance needed for repository contributors adding agent capabilities.

No dependencies are required to use this skill template for context engineering. It functions as a standalone standardization tool, relying only on a structured SKILL.md file and optional support directories like scripts, references, or assets.

Organize skill activation content by structuring the SKILL.md body into distinct sections for activation guidance, core concepts, topics, and practical guidance. Use optional support directories like scripts, references, and assets to extend capabilities as needed.

Yes, you can add optional support directories such as scripts, references, and assets when standardizing skill units. These directories extend the agent capabilities alongside the mandatory SKILL.md file without altering the core frontmatter requirements.
