SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a ready-to-edit Skill scaffold that standardizes how skills are defined with a root SKILL.md and YAML frontmatter, making discovery consistent across the library.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory frontmatter with name and description drives discovery.
  • Markdown body after frontmatter serves as the activation instructions.
  • Optional resources directories (scripts/, references/, assets/) can be attached for on-demand execution or reference.

Quick Start

Rename the directory to reflect your new skill and replace the frontmatter values with your skill's name and description.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a custom AI skill using a markdown template?

To create an AI skill template, rename the provided directory and edit the SKILL.md file, replacing the YAML frontmatter values with your skill's name and description to drive discovery.

What is YAML frontmatter and why is it required for skill bootstrapping?

YAML frontmatter is metadata at the root of SKILL.md that defines the mandatory name and description fields, ensuring consistent skill discovery and activation across the library.

How do I add operational instructions to a skill scaffold?

You add operational instructions by writing directly in the Markdown body section after the YAML frontmatter in the SKILL.md file, which serves as the activation logic for the skill.

Can I attach scripts and references to a skill scaffold?

Yes, you can attach optional resources by creating scripts/, references/, or assets/ directories within the skill folder, which are loaded on demand for execution or reference.

What is the best way to structure a new skill for library discovery?

The best way to structure a skill for discovery is maintaining a valid SKILL.md file at the directory root with mandatory YAML frontmatter, ensuring the skill unit is consistently recognized.

Do I need any dependencies to start developing a skill template?

No dependencies are required to start developing a skill template, as the scaffold only requires a valid SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter and a Markdown body for instructions.
