FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new skill directory with the correct structure and frontmatter?▼

To scaffold a new skill directory, run the create-skill workflow and answer the prompts. It automatically generates the required directory structure under skills/, populates skill.md with mandatory sections, and validates frontmatter fields to ensure consistency with repository conventions.

What's the best way to enforce repository conventions when adding a new skill?▼

Enforcing repository conventions when adding a new skill is handled automatically by the create-skill scaffold. It validates frontmatter fields and populates skill.md with mandatory sections defined in AGENTS.md, ensuring all new skills comply with established repository standards.

Do I need any external tools or dependencies to generate a skill scaffold?▼

No external tools or dependencies are required to generate a skill scaffold. The create-skill workflow runs entirely within the repository environment, handling directory creation, skill.md population, and frontmatter validation without external dependencies.

What mandatory sections should I include in skill.md for repository conventions?▼

Mandatory sections in skill.md are dictated by the repository conventions defined in AGENTS.md. The create-skill scaffold automatically populates these required sections, ensuring your new skill meets the structural and frontmatter validation standards of the repository.

Why does my skill scaffold fail frontmatter validation?▼

Frontmatter validation fails when the provided metadata does not match the repository conventions enforced by the scaffold. The create-skill workflow validates frontmatter fields for consistency, requiring correct formats and mandatory entries before the skill directory can be successfully created.
