kata-skill-validate

What problem does it solve?

It helps you catch structural and metadata mistakes in a skill project early, before it breaks downstream packaging or discovery workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Deterministic project validation: Verifies the skill directory against the expected Lex project structure and Anthropic frontmatter requirements.
• Rule-based violation reporting: Runs a single-pass validator that returns detailed violations (rule, severity, file, message) and classifies results as ok, ok-with-warnings, or failed.
• Orchestrates without altering files: Executes the validator script and reports issues exactly as produced, without filtering or mutating the project.

Quick Start

Run the validator against your skill folder, such as kata-skill-validate skills/kata-your-skill --format text.
