Does this skill support a local-first workflow?

Yes, skills are discoverable and usable immediately after saving the SKILL.md file locally, allowing for zero-latency iteration before pushing to Git.

How do I validate a new skill locally?

You can run the 'bun run validate' command within the repository to check for required frontmatter, kebab-case naming, and file length constraints.

What is a skillstash repository?

A skillstash is a specialized repository structure designed to host, manage, and version-control modular capabilities (skills) for AI agents like Claude.

What are the required fields for a new skill?

Every skill requires a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing a 'name' (matching the directory exactly) and a brief 'description'.

What branch naming convention should I use?

Use 'skill/add- ' for new skills, 'skill/update- ' for modifications, and 'skill/remove- ' for deletions to pass merge-readiness checks.
