context: fork isn’t a documented skill frontmatter field in this repo’s skill template/validator guidance, and it doesn’t appear to be consumed by the build/validation scripts. Consider removing it or renaming it to a supported field (or documenting/implementing its purpose) to avoid confusing future contributors.

The outer fenced block starts with markdown but contains inner {language} fences (e.g., in the Common Patterns section). In Markdown, the inner fences will terminate the outer block, so the template won’t render as intended. Use a longer fence for the outer block (e.g., ````markdown) or switch the inner fences to tildes, and apply the same fix across all templates in this file.

This template links to references/best-practices.md, but that file isn’t provided by the template itself. Consider making this a placeholder (e.g., "See {optional best-practices reference file}") or adding a note that the generated skill should include that reference file if the link is kept, to avoid producing broken links by default.
