FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a skill manifest for testing and discovery?

Validation of a skill manifest enables the discovery system to detect and parse your skill. A valid manifest requires front matter with name and description fields, plus a minimal body that the parser can ingest—essential for development, integration testing, and CI pipelines.

What makes a skill manifest valid for the discovery system?

A valid skill manifest includes front matter containing a name and description, followed by a minimal body structure. This baseline configuration allows the discovery system to recognize and parse the skill during testing and deployment.

Can I use a minimal skill as a starting point for new skill development?

Yes. A minimal valid skill serves as a baseline and quick integration starting point. It demonstrates the minimum requirements for a skill to be detected and parsed, making it ideal for exercising the parser with lightweight stub implementations.

How do I verify a new skill loads correctly in the system?

Initialize the minimal skill with valid front matter and body, then run discovery validation. The system will confirm the skill is detected and parsed correctly, verifying your manifest meets baseline requirements.

What's the difference between a valid skill and a fully featured one?

A valid skill meets minimum manifest requirements—name, description, and parseable body—enabling discovery and testing. Full skills add additional components and dependencies, but validation ensures even minimal implementations work in development, testing, and CI environments.
