Skill Content

This template treats skill packages under /.system/skills/ssot/** as the single SSOT for durable, AI-facing guidance.

Only SSOT skill entrypoints (SKILL.md) require a metadata contract; supporting docs do not.

1. Required metadata: `SKILL.md` front matter

Every SSOT skill entrypoint (SKILL.md) MUST include YAML front matter with:

name: matches the skill directory name (kebab-case, <= 64 chars)
description: single-line trigger description (<= 500 chars)

Optional:

metadata: owner, module, domain, etc.
compatibility: dependencies like git/docker/network.
