templates.md~110Full reference file template and hooks.md/components.md examples

Reading Strategy

Creating a reference file for the first time: Read SKILL.md → templates.md for the structural template.

Need to see what a real reference file looks like: Read templates.md hooks.md and components.md examples directly.

Validating an existing reference file: Use SKILL.md Checklist + templates.md structure as the standard.


File Descriptions

templates.md (~110 lines)

Full structural template for reference files, including critical rules (no Overview section, H3 for sub-sections, token efficiency). Also contains complete real-world examples: hooks.md and components.md patterns for a React skill.


Cross-Reference Map

Real examples: templates.md (hooks.md, components.md) ↔ SKILL.md (Example section showing React skill directory layout)

Token efficiency: SKILL.md (Token Efficiency pattern) ↔ templates.md (CRITICAL rules section)
