FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my AI skill inventory for missing or stale entries?

To audit your AI skill inventory, invoke the catalog scanning feature to report on the status of all installed skills and identify any missing or stale entries. This process synchronizes metadata between the file system and the central registry to ensure compliance.

Why does my skill catalog have configuration drift and metadata inconsistencies?

Skill catalog configuration drift occurs when the file system state diverges from the central registry metadata. Synchronizing the catalog.json file with the actual file system state rebuilds the inventory and resolves these metadata inconsistencies for reliable execution.

How do I validate AI skill naming conventions and versioning compliance?

You validate AI skill naming conventions and versioning compliance by running a quality audit on the skill definitions. This auditing process checks structural standards and description clarity to ensure all registered skills adhere to the required project specifications.

What is the best way to synchronize skill metadata with a central registry?

The best way to synchronize skill metadata with a central registry is by rebuilding the catalog.json file. This action scans the file system and updates the central inventory, maintaining a single source of truth and preventing configuration drift across your installed skills.

Can I use catalog auditing for a growing library of installed AI capabilities?

Yes, catalog auditing is designed to manage a growing library of installed AI capabilities. It provides a single source of truth for all registered skills, automatically scanning and validating metadata to ensure structural standards and consistency at scale.

When should I not use an automated skill catalog rebuild?

You should avoid an automated skill catalog rebuild when manually editing the central registry and needing to preserve unsynchronized file system changes. Running the rebuild process will overwrite manual registry entries by synchronizing metadata directly from the file system.
