FAQPage Schema
How do I validate SKILL.md frontmatter to prevent CI pipeline failures?▼

Frontmatter validation prevents CI pipeline failures by checking SKILL.md files for mandatory name and description fields and ensuring proper YAML formatting before deployment proceeds.

What causes malformed SKILL units in a CI pipeline?▼

Malformed SKILL units result from missing mandatory frontmatter fields or improper YAML formatting, which validation detects to halt bad deployments before pipeline breakage occurs.

How do I check for missing mandatory fields in SKILL unit frontmatter?▼

Checking for missing mandatory fields requires parsing SKILL.md frontmatter to verify required name and description entries exist and are correctly formatted, blocking deployment if validation fails.

Does frontmatter validation require YAML parsing?▼

Frontmatter validation requires basic YAML parsing to read SKILL.md structure and apply error handling when checking for mandatory fields and proper formatting rules.

When do I need to run frontmatter validation on SKILL units?▼

Run frontmatter validation when integrating new SKILL units into a CI pipeline, ensuring only properly formatted units are activated and deployed without breaking integrity.
