agent-validate-config

Validate YAML agent configuration by running the agent-validate-config skill on your .claude/agents files. It checks YAML syntax, required fields like name, role, level, phase, and description, field data types, valid tool names, and proper agent references in delegates_to and escalates_to, catching errors before deployment.

Agent YAML frontmatter requires mandatory fields: name, role, level, phase, and description. The validation skill ensures these fields are present, correctly typed, and contain valid values for system integrity and proper agent functionality.

Run configuration validation at pre-commit and CI/CD stages to catch YAML syntax errors, missing fields, invalid tool references, and structural problems before agents load into production, preventing runtime failures and ensuring system reliability.

Yes, the validation skill verifies that agents referenced in delegates_to and escalates_to fields exist and are correctly specified, ensuring proper agent routing and preventing broken escalation chains in your system.

The validator rejects configurations with incorrect field types or out-of-range values for level and phase, halting agent creation or modification until the configuration meets schema requirements and ensures consistent system behavior.
