High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To structure an agent skill template, create a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing the name and description, then add optional REFERENCE.md, EXAMPLES.md, and scripts/ directories to organize content and deterministic operations for reuse.
The best way to draft a SKILL.md file for progressive disclosure is to write concise instructions directly in the file, then move detailed content into REFERENCE.md and EXAMPLES.md if the total exceeds 500 lines.
You need to create REFERENCE.md and EXAMPLES.md files for your skill when the content in your SKILL.md file exceeds 500 lines, ensuring progressive disclosure and structured onboarding.
To add deterministic scripts to an agent skill directory, create a scripts/ subdirectory within your skill folder and place your executable utilities there to handle deterministic operations needed by the skill.
A SKILL.md file requires YAML frontmatter that includes the skill name and description, ensuring proper skill identification and structured onboarding for agent execution.
Yes, you can build a new skill with only a SKILL.md file, as the REFERENCE.md, EXAMPLES.md, and scripts/ directories are optional and should only be added when content limits are exceeded or deterministic operations are needed.
