Pairs with the config-sheet wrap fix in d616935. Even though the
Configuration sheet now renders raw URLs correctly, markdown link
syntax reads cleaner in the form — the visible text is the label,
not the URL. Teaching this in SKILL.md prevents the scaffolding
skill from generating schemas that look worse than they could.
Additions to SKILL.md:
- New "Writing good descriptions" subsection under Config Schema
Design. Good/bad examples side by side; rule of thumb to wrap
long unbreakable strings (URLs, paths) in markdown links or
inline code.
- New item in the Common Pitfalls checklist: "No raw URLs in
field descriptions."
Bundle rebuilt, catalog.json regenerated. 24/24 Python tests
still pass; Python validator treats descriptions as opaque strings
so no validator changes needed.

Scarf Templates
The community template catalog for Scarf — a macOS GUI for the Hermes AI agent. Each subdirectory here is one installable project template. Browse the live catalog with live dashboard previews at https://awizemann.github.io/scarf/templates/.
What's a template?
A .scarftemplate bundle ships:
- A pre-configured project dashboard (widgets for stats, lists, text, charts).
- A cross-agent
AGENTS.md(agents.md standard) that tells Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Aider, Jules, Copilot, Zed, etc. how to work with the project. - Optional skills, cron jobs, optional per-agent instruction shims (
CLAUDE.md,GEMINI.md,.cursorrules,.github/copilot-instructions.md), and an optional memory appendix.
Users install with one click from the catalog site or by opening a .scarftemplate file in Scarf.
Layout
Each template lives at templates/<github-handle>/<template-name>/ with:
templates/<github-handle>/<template-name>/
├── staging/ source tree
│ ├── template.json manifest (id, name, version, contents claim)
│ ├── README.md shown on catalog detail page
│ ├── AGENTS.md required cross-agent instructions
│ ├── dashboard.json rendered as a live preview on the catalog site
│ ├── instructions/… optional per-agent shims
│ ├── skills/… optional namespaced skills
│ ├── cron/jobs.json optional cron job definitions
│ └── memory/append.md optional memory appendix
├── <template-name>.scarftemplate built bundle (zipped staging/), committed as-is
└── screenshots/ optional PNGs for the detail page
The built .scarftemplate is served directly from raw.githubusercontent.com — the catalog's Install button links at:

Contributing a template
See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full submission walkthrough. tl;dr: fork, drop a template under templates/<your-handle>/<your-name>/, open a PR. A CI check validates the bundle; a maintainer reviews the content.
Catalog metadata
catalog.json at this directory is the aggregate index that the website reads. It's regenerated by the maintainer on merge — do not modify it in your PR, the build script will take care of it.
