How to define assets.yml file?

It depends what files you want to have in public group, but in general the file should look something like this.

stylesheets:
  public:
    - 'reset,shared,base,home'

Then if you have the following directory structure:

stylesheets
  - reset.css
  - shared.css
  - base.css
  - home.css

executing the code above will get you a list of full paths to these 4 files:

['.../stylesheets/reset.css', '.../stylesheets/shared.css', '.../stylesheets/base.css', '.../stylesheets/home.css']
