To validate skill directory structure and frontmatter for ecosystem compliance, audit the skill directory to detect frontmatter presence, content violations, and reference-path errors, receiving actionable remediation recommendations for any gaps found.

The best way to audit plugin structures against ecosystem standards is to run a dedicated validation audit that checks directory layout, optional components, and safety patterns, surfacing misconfigurations before deployment.

Your SKILL.md fails ecosystem standards validation when it has missing or incorrect YAML frontmatter, invalid reference paths, or a directory layout that violates the authoritative specifications enforced by the audit.

Yes, you can use ecosystem standards auditing for new workflows. The audit applies to new skills, plugins, and workflows to verify directory structure, frontmatter content, and safety patterns before deployment.

The standards audit checks both YAML frontmatter presence and content in SKILL.md files, verifying that the frontmatter fields and values conform to the ecosystem's authoritative specifications.

To fix reference-path violations found during a skill directory audit, follow the concrete remediation recommendations provided in the compliance report to correct the invalid paths and directory structure.
