# Skill Boilerplate
## Purpose
Document the mandatory local data layout and instructions to embed in new skills. This skill does not create any folders or files.
## Determine project_root and data dir
- Let <skill-root> be the folder containing SKILL.md.
- If <skill-root>/.. is `skills`, guess project_root as two levels above the `skills` folder (i.e. <skill-root>/../../..).
- This works when skills are stored as <project_root>/<container>/skills/<skill-name>, where <container> can be .codex, .claude, .github, or any other parent.
- Ask the user to confirm the guess; if it is wrong, request project_root.
- If the skill is not under a `skills` directory, do not guess; ask the user for project_root.
- Data dir: <project_root>/.skills-data/<skill-name>/.
