FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new skill from a template?▼

Copy the template directory, then edit SKILL.md to replace the placeholder name and description in the YAML frontmatter. Write the operational instructions in the Markdown body below the frontmatter.

What fields are required in a SKILL.md file?▼

A valid SKILL.md requires YAML frontmatter containing at least a name and a description field. The Markdown body after the frontmatter holds the instructions loaded when the skill activates.

Can I add scripts or references to a skill?▼

Yes, optional scripts, references, and assets directories can sit alongside SKILL.md. Scripts run for deterministic tasks, references provide in-depth reading, and assets store document information.

Why is my skill not being discovered?▼

Discovery fails when SKILL.md is missing, misnamed, or lacks valid YAML frontmatter with name and description. Verify the file sits at the skill directory root and the frontmatter parses correctly.
