SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill validates that an instruction file complies with the standard frontmatter, required sections, and references/checklist, preventing drift between specs and implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validates presence and correctness of frontmatter fields (name, description, and required sections).
  • Checks that all links and references exist and are well-formed.
  • Scenarios include new instruction creation, updates during code review, and pre-commit checks to enforce quality gates.

Quick Start

Run the validator on a target instruction path to verify conformance and receive actionable feedback.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate instruction frontmatter and required sections in documentation?

To validate instruction frontmatter, run the validator on a target instruction path to verify conformance against a standard template. It checks for required fields and sections, outputting a validation report with actionable feedback to ensure consistent documentation quality.

Can I use documentation lint checks for pre-commit and code review workflows?

Yes, you can use documentation lint checks during code reviews and pre-commit checks to enforce quality gates. The validator verifies links, references, and required sections, preventing drift between specs and implementation before changes are committed.

What is instruction validation and when do I need to run it?

Instruction validation is the process of checking that an instruction file complies with standard frontmatter and required references. You need it during new instruction creation, updates, and pre-commit checks to enforce uniform structure and links across documentation.

Does the validator check that all links and references in an instruction file exist?

Yes, the validator checks that all links and references exist and are well-formed. It performs structural checks against a defined template and outputs a validation report with actionable guidance to fix any missing or malformed references.

What is the best way to prevent drift between specs and implementation in documentation?

The best way to prevent drift is to validate instructions against standard frontmatter, required sections, and references. Running this validation during creation, updates, and code reviews enforces a uniform structure and ensures consistent quality across documentation.
