Compatibility notes

Like Cline (which it forked from), Roo Code consumes plain-markdown rules rather than SKILL.md frontmatter. Notes:

Frequently asked — Roo Code

Roo Code skills, answered

What is Roo Code?
Roo Code is an open-source AI development agent for VS Code — a feature-rich fork of Cline with custom modes, multi-file edits, and MCP support. See roocode.com.
Does Roo Code support SKILL.md natively?
Roo Code has no dedicated skills directory like Claude Code's. It reads markdown rules from .roo/rules/, so you adapt a SKILL.md into that folder — the body ports directly and the frontmatter is ignored.
Where do Roo Code rules live?
Workspace-wide in .roo/rules/; mode-specific in .roo/rules-<mode>/. Roo reads every file in the rules folder as standing context.
