FAQPage Schema
What are self-containment standards for plugin skills?

Self-containment standards ensure plugin skills maintain portable and auditable contracts with consistent frontmatter. They define input/output schemas, resource structures, and safety rules for skills under plugin/core/skills and plugin/fullstack-typescript.

How do I audit plugin skills for frontmatter consistency?

You audit plugin skills by applying a structured audit procedure that checks frontmatter consistency and input/output schemas. This drift-aware auditing process verifies metadata compliance and enforces cross-skill delegation rules.

When do I need to define input and output schemas for plugin skills?

You need to define input and output schemas when authoring or reviewing plugin skills to enable reliable discovery and cross-skill delegation. Clear schemas establish consistent contracts and support scalable maintenance.

Does this standard apply to skills outside of plugin/core/skills?

This standard applies specifically to plugin skills located under plugin/core/skills and plugin/fullstack-typescript. It establishes frontmatter and self-containment guidelines tailored to these specific plugin skill directories.

What is the best way to ensure cross-skill delegation follows safety rules?

The best way to ensure safe cross-skill delegation is to enforce the defined input/output schemas and frontmatter standards. Applying these self-containment contracts guarantees consistent metadata and reliable delegation behavior.
