FAQPage Schema

How do I create a new skill from a template?▼

Copy the template directory, then edit SKILL.md to replace the placeholder name and description in the YAML frontmatter. Write the operational instructions in the Markdown body below the frontmatter.

What fields are required in SKILL.md frontmatter?▼

The frontmatter must define at least a name and a description, which are used for skill discovery. The Markdown body after the frontmatter holds the instructions loaded when the skill activates.

Can I use this template skill as-is in production?▼

No, this is a placeholder scaffold with no operational instructions. You must replace the description and add real instructions before it performs any meaningful task.

What optional directories can a skill unit include?▼

A skill may include scripts, references, and assets directories alongside SKILL.md. Scripts run deterministic tasks, references provide in-depth reading material, and assets store document information.
