FAQPage Schema
How do I verify that a plugin skill loads and runs correctly?

Plugin discovery and activation can be validated by running a test skill to confirm the loading, invocation, and output generation work as expected. This lightweight verification ensures your plugin functions within the SkillKit sandbox before deployment.

What's the minimal way to demonstrate a skill with YAML frontmatter?

A self-contained test skill with YAML frontmatter provides a lightweight demonstration of skill structure and activation. Running it exercises the basic discovery flow and confirms deterministic, parseable output suitable for structured processing.

Can I use automation and discovery testing without external dependencies?

Yes. A minimal, self-contained plugin skill performs isolated execution within a sandbox environment without external dependencies, making it ideal for plugin validation, development, and demonstration contexts.

How do I generate deterministic, structured output from a skill for indexing?

A test skill produces deterministic, parseable output designed for RAG indexing and automated processing. Running it generates consistent results suitable for downstream analysis and structured data pipelines.

What does a basic skill implementation for plugin validation look like?

A basic-depth skill demonstrates plugin functionality through a minimal, self-contained unit with YAML frontmatter. It exercises the SkillKit discovery and activation flow with sample input to verify core processing logic.
