skills-best-practices

Why we included this project

Anyone who packages skills for AI agents will get something useful here. The guide is short and opinionated, and it gets into the details that decide whether a skill holds up in real use: a strict folder layout with a lean SKILL.md as the entry point, frontmatter written to trigger the right agent, and a rule to keep the context window small by loading extra material only when needed. The author also points to a separate validation tool that catches regressions, so the advice is something you can act on rather than just read. If your team is standardizing how skills are structured across multiple agents, the naming rules and metadata guidance translate directly to your own repos.
