FAQPage Schema
How do I validate ARF skill structure and metadata before publishing?▼

You validate ARF skill structure by running a check that verifies SKILL.md presence, valid frontmatter with name and description, and correct Claude Code and Codex symlinks under arf/skills/.

What markdown sections are required for an ARF skill to pass validation?▼

Required markdown sections for ARF skill validation include a single # title, a concrete Version, and the sections Goal, Inputs, Context, Steps, Done When, and Forbidden for full style compliance.

Can I scan all skills in arf/skills/ at once for symlink and frontmatter errors?▼

Yes, you can scan all skills in arf/skills/ at once to detect missing SKILL.md files, invalid frontmatter metadata, and incorrect .claude/.codex symlinks before they break automation.

Why does my ARF skill validation fail after updating the directory layout?▼

ARF skill validation fails after directory updates when the layout lacks correct .claude and .codex symlinks, or when SKILL.md frontmatter omits the mandatory name and description fields.

What is the best way to lint markdown quality for agent skills?▼
