SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This template streamlines creation of Agent Skills by providing a minimal, standards-compliant SKILL.md structure so authors can publish discoverable, consistent skills without guessing required fields or layout. It reduces onboarding friction for contributors and prevents common metadata mistakes that break automatic agent discovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Entrypoint template: Includes mandatory frontmatter keys (name, description) and example extension fields to guide discovery and compatibility.
  • Author guidance: Documents where to place optional resources (scripts/, references/, assets/) and what each is used for.
  • Use Case: Quickly scaffold a new Grafana or LGTM observability skill for agent integration and then add concrete scripts or references as needed.

Quick Start

Copy this SKILL.md into a new directory, update the name and description frontmatter, and add any supporting scripts, references, or assets for your skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a Grafana agent skill with the correct metadata structure?

To scaffold a Grafana agent skill, copy the template SKILL.md into a new directory, update the mandatory name and description frontmatter, and add supporting scripts, references, or assets as needed.

What frontmatter is required for an agent skill to be discoverable?

Mandatory frontmatter for agent skill discovery requires the name and description keys. Example extension fields can also be applied to guide compatibility and ensure agents reliably load the skill.

Where should I put scripts, references, and assets when creating a new skill?

Place optional resources in dedicated directories: scripts for executable code, references for documentation, and assets for supporting files. This organization ensures agents can reliably load and use the skill.

Why are my agent skills not being discovered automatically?

Automatic agent discovery fails when mandatory frontmatter keys are missing or incomplete. Using a standards-compliant SKILL.md template prevents common metadata mistakes that break the discovery process.

Can I use this template for LGTM observability skills?

Yes, you can use this template to quickly scaffold new Grafana or LGTM observability skills for agent integration, then add concrete scripts or references as needed for your specific use case.
