Can I include subdirectories for scripts and references in a Droid skill?

Yes, you can include optional subdirectories such as scripts/, references/, and assets/ within your Droid skill folder. These directories are loaded by Droid alongside the SKILL.md file to support task execution and provide necessary context.

Does standardizing skill metadata improve task automation across multiple projects?

Standardizing skill metadata improves task automation across multiple projects by providing a consistent blueprint for new Droid skills. This ensures consistent Skill Units are rapidly onboarded and correctly discovered by Droid during execution.
