Twelve org-scoped resource types share one envelope: the same identity keys, the same lifecycle columns, the same serialization rules. Sibling skills describe a type's own fields; this one covers the frame they sit in, and the four parts of it that silently break authored YAML — the flatten rule, the slug rules, type, and changeSequence.
Metadata Envelope is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the tools-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/metadata-envelope/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when authoring or debugging any Kodexa resource YAML — the shared slug / name / orgSlug / type envelope twelve org-scoped resource types embed, the flatten rule that makes authored YAML flat, what a slug is actually checked against, the changeSequence optimistic lock, the computed ref and uri, extends + overlay (a plan, task template, data form or project template written as a delta over a base), and where each file lives in a metadata repo.
The Metadata Envelope Claude Code skill is built for developers, power users, and teams automating repetitive workflows and improving developer experience. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 211,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
