FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new skill with a validated documentation template?▼

To scaffold new skills, this tool generates a canonical folder at skills/<category>/<skill-name>/ containing a SKILL.md file with validated frontmatter, ensuring SPECS compliance and consistent cross-linked documentation structure.

What files are generated when scaffolding skill documentation?▼

Scaffolding skill documentation produces a SKILL.md file at the directory root, alongside optional STACK.md, RECIPES.md, and supporting resource directories to ensure complete and discoverable skill units.

How does automated skill scaffolding ensure SPECS compliance?▼

Automated skill scaffolding ensures SPECS compliance by verifying that frontmatter includes name, version, and description, and by checking that the body structure and cross-links conform to the required specifications.

Can I use skill scaffolding templates for interview-first documentation?▼

Yes, you can use skill scaffolding templates for interview-first documentation, as the tool enables rapid scaffolding and SPECS updates to accelerate the authoring of structured skill units.

Do I need prior dependencies to automate workflow and skill scaffolding?▼

You do not need any prior dependencies to automate workflow and skill scaffolding, as the tool operates independently to generate compliant folders, validate frontmatter, and update SPECS.

When should I use an automated scaffold instead of manually creating skill folders?▼

You should use an automated scaffold instead of manually creating skill folders when you need consistent structure, rapid interview-first authoring, and guaranteed SPECS compliance across multiple skill units.
