FAQPage Schema
How do I create a well-structured agent skill with proper frontmatter?▼

To create an agent skill, set up a directory with a SKILL.md file containing required name and description frontmatter, plus optional scripts, references, and assets folders for bundled resources.

What is the required structure for a SKILL.md file?▼

A SKILL.md file requires frontmatter with a name and description to capture the capability and triggers. Optional directories like scripts, references, and assets can organize support files.

What's the best way to organize scripts and references when building agent skills?▼

Organize scripts and references into optional dedicated directories within the skill folder. This structure keeps bundled resources separate from the SKILL.md metadata and ensures repeatable packaging.

Can I use templates to guide the skill creation process from drafting to review?▼

Yes, using a repeatable template for drafting and review ensures the skill metadata captures capabilities, triggers, and organizational structure consistently while packaging reusable components.

Do I need any dependencies to build and maintain agent skills?▼

No dependencies are required to build agent skills. You only need to define a standardized SKILL.md skeleton with optional support files to establish a clear workflow for drafting and deploying.
