## Skill Format Guidelines
|
|
|
|
### SKILL.md Structure
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
---
|
|
name: skill-name
|
|
description: |
|
|
Brief description (1-3 sentences).
|
|
Include when to use this skill.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
# Skill Title
|
|
|
|
[Content following the template in PLAN.md]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Guidelines
|
|
|
|
1. **Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines** - Move details to `references/`
|
|
2. **Max 3 directory levels** - `skill/references/file.md`
|
|
3. **Include code examples** - Real, working code developers can use
|
|
4. **Document gotchas** - Common mistakes and limitations
|
|
5. **Link to official sources** - Prefer Zoom documentation
|
|
|
|
### Maintenance Checklist
|
|
|
|
Use this checklist before merging documentation or skill changes:
|
|
|
|
1. Confirm you are editing the correct skill or product folder.
|
|
2. Keep `SKILL.md` as the entrypoint in every skill directory.
|
|
3. If examples include credentials, reference `.env` keys rather than hardcoded values.
|
|
4. Never commit machine-local absolute paths or machine-specific endpoints.
|
|
5. After moving or renaming docs, update cross-links from the relevant parent `SKILL.md` files.
|
|
6. Verify frontmatter stays accurate: `name`, `description`, and any optional fields such as `triggers`, `argument-hint`, or `user-invocable`.
|
|
7. Remove dead links and stale product claims after any refactor or version update.
|
|
8. Make sure every new markdown file is reachable from at least one parent navigation file.
|
|
9. Track deprecations and renames explicitly so future updates remain migration-safe.
|
|
|
|
### Repository Naming Conventions
|
|
|
|
- Keep canonical skill folder names aligned with [skills/start/SKILL.md](skills/start/SKILL.md).
|
|
- Current canonical folders include:
|
|
- `general`, `rest-api`, `webhooks`, `websockets`, `meeting-sdk`, `video-sdk`, `zoom-apps-sdk`
|
|
- `rtms`, `team-chat`, `ui-toolkit`, `cobrowse-sdk`, `oauth`, `zoom-mcp`
|
|
- `contact-center`, `virtual-agent`, `phone`, `rivet-sdk`, `probe-sdk`
|
|
|
|
### Markdown Linking Rules (Required)
|
|
|
|
- Use real markdown links for local docs (for example: `text -> docs/example.md`).
|
|
- Do not use backticks for local doc references if you want them counted in relationship graphs.
|
|
- Use repository-relative paths; do not commit machine-local absolute paths (for example `/home/your-user/...`).
|
|
- Every new `.md` file should be linked from at least one parent/index/`SKILL.md` file.

## Using Claude for Contributions
|
|
|
|
You can use Claude (or other AI assistants) to help create or improve skills:
|
|
|
|
### Recommended Workflow
|
|
|
|
1. **Research Phase**
|
|
```
|
|
Research the official Zoom documentation for [topic].
|
|
Check the developer forum for common issues.
|
|
Find working code examples.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Drafting Phase**
|
|
```
|
|
Create a skill following the SKILL.md template.
|
|
Include practical code examples.
|
|
Document known limitations and gotchas.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Validation Phase**
|
|
```
|
|
Cross-check all information with official Zoom docs.
|
|
Verify code examples are syntactically correct.
|
|
Ensure links are valid.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Claude-Specific Tips
|
|
|
|
- **Be specific**: "Create a use case for RTMS audio streaming to S3" not "write about RTMS"
|
|
- **Provide context**: Share relevant existing skills as examples
|
|
- **Iterate**: Review drafts and ask for improvements
|
|
- **Verify**: Always cross-check AI-generated content with official sources
|
|
