FAQPage Schema

How do I validate workflow skill conventions and frontmatter integrity?▼

Workflow validation checks skill structure, frontmatter integrity, and workflow.md consistency to enforce conventions and flag hardcoded references or legacy patterns across the codebase.

What does a skill structure audit check for in a codebase?▼

A skill structure audit checks for the presence and correctness of SKILL.md frontmatter, validates step-architecture, and flags hardcoded references or invalid paths to enforce quality assurance.

Can I check workflow.md consistency and step architecture automatically?▼

Yes, automated validation can check workflow.md consistency and step architecture by enforcing defined conventions and flagging non-standard naming or invalid paths across your skill library.

How do I catch legacy patterns and hardcoded references in workflow skills?▼

You can catch legacy patterns and hardcoded references by running a conformance check that audits workflow hygiene against defined conventions and flags non-standard naming or invalid paths.

Does skill validation require any external dependencies or components?▼

No, skill validation operates without external dependencies or components, auditing bmad-* skills directly against structural requirements and convention compliance to generate a findings report.
