SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? This Skill serves as a starting scaffold for developers creating new skill units, providing the mandatory SKILL.md structure with YAML frontmatter so new skills are discoverable and correctly formatted from the start. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Frontmatter Scaffold: Includes the required name and description YAML fields needed for skill discovery. - Instruction Placeholder: Contains a marked section where operational instructions for the AI are written. - Use Case: When bootstrapping a new skill inside a Next.js project's .agents/skills/ directory, copy this template and replace the placeholder name, description, and instructions with your skill's actual behavior. ## Quick Start Duplicate the template-skill directory, rename it, and replace the placeholder frontmatter and instructions with your new skill's details.
