High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To create reusable skill templates, duplicate the framework and replace the placeholder values in SKILL.md. This provides a ready-to-fill structure for defining new skills quickly and consistently across different domains.
A SKILL.md frontmatter discovery contract is YAML metadata that defines the name, description, and deployment notes for a skill. It acts as the standardized entry point for validating and activating a self-contained skill unit.
Add optional resources by creating subdirectories named scripts/, references/, or assets/ within the skill unit. These directories load on demand to extend capability and provide richer context without altering the core skill.
No dependencies are required to validate a self-contained skill unit. The template only requires a SKILL.md file with a defined name and description to function as a valid, self-contained skill.
The best way to standardize skill metadata is using YAML frontmatter in a SKILL.md file. This defines the discovery contract by standardizing the entry with name, description, and deployment notes for consistent skill activation.
