To generate consistent metadata for AI skill discovery, edit your repository's SKILL.md file to define mandatory YAML frontmatter fields like name and description. This template validates new skills and extracts metadata to power discovery and loading.

The required YAML frontmatter fields to validate a skill are name and description. Optional fields like dependencies and components can also be pulled from the frontmatter and surrounding files to ensure strict formatting and safe content.

You need YAML frontmatter validation for skill generation when turning ideas into ready-to-use AI skills. It ensures strict formatting rules for JSON strings and safe, non-executable content, applying toxicity checks to prevent security risks during discovery.

To structure a SKILL.md file to define a new skill, fill in the mandatory frontmatter fields and the required structural sections. You can also specify optional resource directories like scripts/, references/, and assets/ to extend functionality.

Toxicity checks are necessary when extracting skill metadata from frontmatter to prevent security risks. The validation process enforces safe, non-executable content alongside strict formatting rules for YAML frontmatter and JSON strings.
