To create a portable Agent Skill, define a formal Skill Unit by placing a SKILL.md file with mandatory frontmatter at the skill's root directory. This ensures consistency and discoverability across the skill catalog.
A SKILL.md file requires specific frontmatter fields including name, description, allowed-tools, and argument-hint. It also mandates a Markdown body containing actionable instructions for the skill.
Structure a skill directory by following the provided template and placing your new skill under the skills/{skill-name}/ path. This enforces a standardized frontmatter and reusable conventions for easy onboarding.
You need a standardized frontmatter template whenever teams require portable, standards-compliant skill definitions. This approach enforces consistency across the skill catalog and enables easy validation by new contributors.
Using custom markdown structures bypasses the mandatory SKILL.md frontmatter validation. Applying the standardized template ensures your skill definitions remain portable, cataloged, and compliant with team conventions.
Skill definitions fail validation when the SKILL.md frontmatter is missing required fields like name, description, allowed-tools, or argument-hint. Ensure the root directory contains a properly structured Markdown body with actionable instructions.
