What This Skill Does

A starter scaffold for building new agent skills. It defines the minimal file structure and frontmatter fields required for a skill to be recognized and loaded. Use it as the base when creating a skill from scratch. Starting from the template avoids missing required frontmatter fields that cause skills to fail silently at load time.

When to use it

  • Working with template functionality
  • Implementing template features
  • Debugging template related issues
