Writing skills provide a test-driven framework for documenting reusable patterns and techniques, ensuring consistency and verifiability across agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establishes a consistent SKILL.md structure (YAML frontmatter with name and description, plus a clear, multi-section body)
  • Guides crafting, testing, and deploying Skills using RED-GREEN-REFACTOR methodology
  • Enables reliable discovery and application of skills across agent types
  • Supports references, scripts, and assets for scalable Skill content

Quick Start

Create a new skill by adding a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter that includes name and description, then write the guide body and validate it using the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR testing workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write test-driven documentation for reusable skills?

Test-driven documentation for reusable skills is generated using a SKILL.md structure with YAML frontmatter and validated through a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR testing workflow to ensure deployment readiness and consistency.

What is the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow for skill validation?

The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow is a testing methodology that validates skill deployment readiness by guiding the creation, testing, and refinement of skill documentation to ensure safe distribution across agents.

What structure does a SKILL.md file need for safe agent distribution?

A SKILL.md file requires YAML frontmatter with name and description fields, followed by a multi-section body that can include optional references, scripts, and assets for scalable skill content distribution.

How do I add metadata fields like dependencies and components to a skill?

Metadata fields including dependencies, components, and toxicity checks are produced during the skill generation process to enforce a consistent SKILL.md structure and ensure safe distribution across different agent environments.

When do I need to use a test-driven framework for skill documentation?

A test-driven framework for skill documentation is needed when you want to ensure consistency and verifiability across agents, establishing a standardized structure that supports reliable discovery and application of reusable patterns.
