SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a minimal, testable unit to validate discovery, frontmatter parsing, and progressive disclosure of references in the Almanac/Missouri tooling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reference-driven deep dives expose a references/ folder with supplemental material loaded on demand.
  • Frontmatter-driven metadata demonstrates extraction of name and description from SKILL.md.
  • Testing and validation serves as a mock skill for end-to-end workflow testing of skill loading and activation.

Quick Start

Load this skill and confirm that the skill metadata and on-demand references load correctly.

FAQPage Schema
How does frontmatter parsing validate skill discovery?▼

Frontmatter parsing validates skill discovery by extracting the required name and description fields from SKILL.md to ensure proper metadata loading during activation.

How do I load on-demand references from a references directory?▼

You load on-demand references by triggering progressive disclosure during activation, which exposes the supplemental material in the references folder for deep-dive analysis.

What is progressive disclosure of references in skill testing?▼

Progressive disclosure of references is a mechanism that loads supplemental material on demand from a references directory, enabling deep-dive validation without loading everything upfront.

Do I need a references directory to parse SKILL.md frontmatter?▼

You do not need a references directory to parse frontmatter, as the references folder is optional; however, when present, it must be properly structured for on-demand loading.

Can I use this to test end-to-end skill loading and activation workflows?▼

You can use this minimal testable unit to validate end-to-end skill loading and activation workflows, confirming that metadata extraction and on-demand references load correctly.

What are the requirements for frontmatter metadata in SKILL.md?▼

The requirements for frontmatter metadata include a defined name and description in SKILL.md, plus a properly configured references directory when optional reference files are present.
