SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating a new Skill from scratch requires knowing the correct SKILL.md structure, including the mandatory YAML frontmatter with name and description fields. This template removes that guesswork by providing a ready-to-fill skeleton. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Standardized Frontmatter: Includes the required name and description fields in valid YAML format. - Instruction Placeholder: Offers a marked section where operational instructions for the AI are written. - Use Case: A developer building a new Skill copies this template, replaces the placeholder description, and writes the instruction body to produce a valid, discoverable Skill unit. ## Quick Start Copy this template directory and replace the placeholder name, description, and instructions to define your new Skill.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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 your operational instructions in the Markdown body below the frontmatter.

What fields are required in SKILL.md frontmatter?▼

The YAML frontmatter must define at least a name and a description. These fields are used for discovery, while the Markdown body after the frontmatter provides the instructions loaded when the Skill activates.

Can a Skill include scripts and reference files?▼

Yes, a Skill may optionally include scripts, references, and assets directories alongside SKILL.md. Scripts handle deterministic tasks, references provide in-depth documentation, and assets store document resources.

Why is my Skill not being discovered?▼

Discovery fails when SKILL.md is missing at the directory root or the frontmatter lacks a valid name or description. Verify the file name casing and that the YAML block is properly delimited.
