SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a standardized procedure and validation tooling to author, structure, and finalize agent skill directories so they are discoverable, deterministic, and production-ready.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Metadata Validation: Validates name and description against discovery rules, length limits, and tone heuristics using a CLI validator.
  • Directory Scaffolding: Recommends and enforces the use of scripts/, references/, and assets/ with flat hierarchies for progressive disclosure.
  • Deterministic Tooling: Bundles a validation script that emits clear stdout/stderr messages and enforces forward-slash paths and single-level component folders.
  • Use Case: An AI engineer or maintainer preparing agent capabilities can scaffold a new skill, verify metadata, and audit structure before publication to avoid discovery or runtime failures.

Quick Start

Use the skill-creator to scaffold a new agent skill and run its validation script with the proposed name and description.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-creator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure an agent skill directory for discoverability?▼

To structure an agent skill directory for discoverability, use a flat folder hierarchy with scripts/, references/, and assets/ components. This enforces progressive disclosure so the agent can efficiently locate and load production-ready capabilities.

What are the metadata requirements for authoring agent skills?▼

Metadata requirements for authoring agent skills mandate strict naming conventions, specific description lengths, and neutral tone heuristics. A bundled validation CLI checks these discovery rules and reports precise formatting errors before publication.

How do I validate agent skill metadata before deployment?▼

You validate agent skill metadata by running a deterministic validation CLI script. This script checks format, enforces forward-slash paths, verifies single-level component folders, and emits clear stdout/stderr messages to flag discovery failures.

Why does my agent skill validation script fail on directory structure?▼

Agent skill validation scripts fail on directory structure when component folders exceed single-level depth or use incorrect path separators. The validator enforces flat hierarchies and forward-slash paths to ensure deterministic progressive disclosure.

Do I need specific dependencies to scaffold production-ready agent capabilities?▼

No specific dependencies are required to scaffold production-ready agent capabilities. The skill-creator operates independently to audit directory structure, validate metadata, and enforce naming conventions without external packages.

Can I use nested folders for scripts and references in agent skills?▼

No, you cannot use nested folders for scripts and references in agent skills. The validator enforces a flat folder structure with single-level component directories to maintain deterministic progressive disclosure.
