FAQPage Schema
How do I validate skill definitions in YAML frontmatter for automated testing?

To validate skill definitions in YAML frontmatter, parse the SKILL.md file to verify required fields like name and description, along with a body section containing operational activation instructions, ensuring correct discovery and loading workflows.

What is frontmatter-driven skill discovery and when do I need it?

Frontmatter-driven skill discovery is the process of reading and parsing metadata in SKILL.md files to locate and load agent skills. You need it during automated testing and onboarding to ensure consistent skill activation.

How to test if an agent can correctly parse and execute a skill from SKILL.md?

You can test if an agent correctly parses and executes a skill by running a quick load of a lightweight test artifact SKILL.md and observing the confirmation message to verify frontmatter parsing and activation instructions.

Do I need any dependencies to validate SKILL.md frontmatter fields?

No dependencies are required to validate SKILL.md frontmatter fields. This skill is a lightweight, self-contained example that parses YAML frontmatter to verify required name and description fields without external tools.

What are the limitations of using a basic skill definition for onboarding validation?

A basic skill definition for onboarding validation is limited to checking required frontmatter fields and simple activation instructions. It serves as a lightweight test artifact and does not perform complex reasoning or deep component integration.
