High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To structure an agent skill, create a SKILL.md file with frontmatter containing a name and description, then organize optional references like REFERENCE.md and EXAMPLES.md alongside scripts for scalable skill ecosystems.
Progressive disclosure in skill authoring separates core instructions in SKILL.md from detailed context in optional files, splitting content when reference materials or scripts grow too large for deterministic task execution.
Bundle optional resources for deterministic tasks by placing reference files and scripts in a dedicated directory alongside SKILL.md, ensuring consistent usage across the skill ecosystem for reliable execution.
Required frontmatter fields for a SKILL.md file include a name and description, ensuring the skill is discoverable and maintainable within scalable skill ecosystems.
A checklist helps teams align on agent skill quality by standardizing frontmatter, file structure, and optional resource bundling, improving discoverability and maintainability across the skill ecosystem.
Avoid separate reference files when a skill's logic is simple enough to fit entirely within SKILL.md, as unnecessary splitting can reduce maintainability and fragment the skill's core instructions.
