External file reference detection identifies file paths (absolute, relative, and tilde-expanded) embedded in scripts and skill units. This Skill parses front matter and Markdown sections to locate and enumerate these references, outputting a structured list for auditing and security validation workflows.

This Skill detects absolute paths, relative paths, and tilde-expanded home directory references (~) used within skill units. It scans usage blocks and resource references to capture all external file dependencies in a format suitable for vector indexing and compliance tracking.

Auditing external file references helps track dependencies, validate data sources, and enforce security policies across automation workflows. Maintaining visibility into file dependencies reduces configuration errors and supports compliance validation of skill packages.

Yes. By detecting and enumerating external file references, this Skill provides a structured reference list that enables pre-execution validation, dependency verification, and security checks before automation runs consume or depend on external resources.

Yes. This Skill parses both front matter and Markdown sections within skill units to locate external file path patterns, making it compatible with documentation-driven automation workflows and reference-heavy skill packages.
