Example Skill

This is a template skill. When triggered, answer in the user's language and explain:

  1. This skill was loaded from example-plugin in the zcode-plugins-official marketplace.
  2. ZCode uses the plugin manifest at .zcode-plugin/plugin.json.
  3. A skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter (name, description) followed by instructions. Clear descriptions improve auto-trigger accuracy.
  4. This template also demonstrates:
    • hooks/hooks.json + Node scripts for SessionStart / PreToolUse
    • root .mcp.json with a local stdio MCP server and disabled remote HTTP/SSE samples
    • optional userConfig fields referenced as ${user_config.*}
  5. User-facing docs should include both README.md and README_CN.md, and metadata should include matching description_i18n.en / description_i18n.zh-CN.
