The SKILL.md Format

YAML frontmatter spec

4 min

Every skill starts with a SKILL.md file. The YAML frontmatter at the top declares the skill's metadata and requirements. Let me show you a minimal example:

---
name: git-stats
description: Show git commit statistics
requires:
  bins:
    - git
  env:
    - GITHUB_TOKEN
  config:
    - gitUser
os:
  - linux
  - darwin
---

The name field is your skill's unique identifier on ClawHub. The description appears in the tool list. The requires block lists binaries, environment variables, and config keys the skill depends on. The os array restricts which platforms the skill can run on.
