A skeleton table is a text file having .skt (UNIX & Macintosh) or .SKT (VMS & MS-DOS ) as a file extension. The normal method of creating and using a skeleton table would be to use SkeletonTable on an existing CDF that is similar to the CDF you want to create. Then edit the created skeleton table to meet your needs, and use SkeletonCDF to create the new CDF. The skeleton table could also be created from scratch with any text editor.
The format of the skeleton table is described in Appendix A.
