To validate SemVer versioning in frontmatter, provide a directory path to the Skill validator. It checks that the version follows the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format and confirms required fields like name and description exist.

Required metadata fields for publishing a Skill include the version string and the name and description fields. Validating these fields ensures discovery readiness and prevents integration issues in downstream tooling and catalogs.

You can check if your Skill version follows Semantic Versioning by running a validation check on the Skill directory. The validator returns a pass or fail result with details about the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format compliance.

Skill version validation fails before deployment when the metadata version does not adhere to the SemVer format or when essential frontmatter fields like name and description are missing from the SKILL.md file.

You can validate Skill metadata across multiple repositories by applying the validator to each Skill directory. This ensures consistent versioning and confirms discovery readiness for downstream validators and tooling catalogs.

No dependencies are required to parse and validate Skill frontmatter. The validator operates independently to check for SemVer version format compliance and the presence of required metadata fields.
