This Skill unit acts as a negative fixture to verify that calls referencing other SKILL.md targets point to existing SKILL.md definitions. If a referenced target is missing, the activation pipeline should reject the reference to prevent broken activation flows.
Run the repository's validation on this skill to confirm that a missing target in the calls list triggers a failure.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Skill reference validation detects broken or missing targets in a calls list, ensuring referenced skills exist before activation. It prevents broken activation flows by enforcing presence of valid inter-skill references during the pipeline.
Activation fails because the validation pipeline rejects references to missing SKILL.md targets to prevent broken activation flows. This integrity enforcement ensures all inter-skill dependencies exist before the activation process can successfully complete.
Test error handling by using a negative fixture that includes calls referencing non-existent SKILL.md targets. Running repository validation on this fixture confirms that a missing target triggers a failure and surfaces the expected activation error.
A negative fixture for skill reference validation is a test skill unit containing calls with intentionally broken or missing SKILL.md targets. It verifies that the activation pipeline correctly rejects invalid inter-skill references instead of failing silently.
Yes, you can apply this reference validation to repository validation workflows to ensure skills reference each other correctly across the entire project. It enforces that every entry in the calls list resolves to an existing skill definition during checks.
