The file has YAML frontmatter for metadata and a markdown body for instructions. The agent reads the frontmatter to decide whether to load the skill.

If it does not load, the skill costs nothing — it is inert.</p> <p>This guide covers how to write skills that activate at the right time and provide useful guidance when they do.</p>
