FAQPage Schema
How do I generate structured metadata for skills in a repository?

Skill metadata generation works by analyzing the repository structure and YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md files to extract fields like name, tagline, description, complexity, category, and safety flags.

How do I catalog skill directories without manually inspecting every file?

Cataloging skill directories requires a root SKILL.md file with required YAML frontmatter, which the system validates to identify valid skill units and extract their operational metadata.

What is the best way to validate skill units and screen for toxicity in a repository?

To validate skill units and screen for toxicity, an automated tool inspects the repository structure, verifies SKILL.md frontmatter, and applies discovery and classification rules to generate safe catalog entries.

Do I need a SKILL.md file to generate a catalog entry for a repository folder?

Yes, a root SKILL.md file with required YAML frontmatter is mandatory, as the system uses it to detect valid skill units and synthesize their structured catalog metadata.

Can I apply spec validation to skill directories containing scripts and references?

Yes, spec validation applies to skill directories that include scripts, references, or assets alongside operational instructions, successfully generating metadata for these complex folder structures.
