FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically synchronize skill metadata from YAML frontmatter into a central catalog?▼

To synchronize skill metadata, this utility parses YAML frontmatter from all SKILL.md files and compiles the extracted names and descriptions into a unified global catalog. It tracks all changes via a changelog to ensure repository-wide consistency.

What is the best way to keep a skill catalog updated when new SKILL.md files are added?▼

The best way to keep a skill catalog updated is through version-aware synchronization that detects newly added or updated SKILL.md entries. Running a single non-intrusive command triggers an immediate refresh of the central catalog.

How does YAML frontmatter parsing work for extracting documentation metadata?▼

YAML frontmatter parsing extracts structured metadata fields like name, description, and category directly from the headers of SKILL.md files. This automated extraction compiles the data into a centralized catalog for quick discovery and governance.

Can I track versioning and categorization changes across all skills in a repository?▼

Yes, you can track versioning and categorization changes across all skills in a repository. The synchronization process monitors SKILL.md updates and records metadata changes in a changelog to maintain global consistency.

Does this catalog synchronization require manual updates every time a skill changes?▼

No, catalog synchronization does not require manual updates every time a skill changes. The process is fully automated and can be triggered on demand using a non-intrusive command to scan repository-wide SKILL.md files and refresh the catalog.

What should I do if my SKILL.md metadata is not appearing in the global catalog?▼

If SKILL.md metadata is not appearing in the global catalog, ensure your YAML frontmatter is properly formatted with the required name and description fields. Run the synchronization command to re-parse all files and force a catalog refresh.
