.claude/skills/skill-name.md - Folder-based:
.claude/skills/skill-name/SKILL.md
Frontmatter
Skills should include YAML frontmatter with:

API Documentation Generator
Documentation
Automatically generates OpenAPI/Swagger API documentation.
Technical Writer
Documentation
Writes clear technical documentation following top style guides.
Typed Documentation Forms System
Documentation
Add typed comments, documentation, todos, and metadata to Scheme code using `(doc ...)` forms. Doc annotations are authoritative for type inference, extracted by search commands (lf-todo, lf-types), and integrated with the type checker and LSP. Useful for annotating functions, marking deprecations, or tracking localized improvements alongside the code.
