SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ensures new Skill libraries meet the v8 minimum frontmatter contract reliably, preventing broken metadata from entering the Skill Graph toolchain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lint and schema acceptance: Confirms the smallest v8-compatible capability fixture passes lint for minimal required fields.
  • Operational correctness: Verifies manifest generation and routing handle the bare minimum without requiring optional sections.
  • Guardrail for regressions: Detects when lint rules or required fields change so the fixture can be updated intentionally.

Quick Start

Run node scripts/skill-lint.js --path examples/fixture-skills/minimal-capability to confirm the fixture yields 0 lint errors.

Frequently Asked Questions about minimal-capability

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is the bare-minimum frontmatter required for v8 schema validation in a Skill Graph?▼

Schema validation fails when required name or description fields are missing from YAML frontmatter. This fixture tests that the minimal v8-compatible fields pass lint and manifest generation without needing optional metadata sections.

How do I lint a minimal capability fixture to confirm it has zero errors?▼

Run node scripts/skill-lint.js pointing to the fixture directory. It validates the v8-compatible frontmatter, checking that minimal required fields plus recommended stability and license pass schema lint with zero errors.

Does the Skill Graph routing work with only required frontmatter fields?▼

Yes, routing and manifest generation operate correctly with only required name and description fields. The fixture verifies operational correctness without optional sections for the skill-graph package tests.

Why do I need a minimal capability fixture for skill lint tests?▼

A minimal capability fixture acts as a regression guardrail. It detects when lint rules or required v8 fields change, allowing intentional fixture updates and preventing broken metadata from entering the Skill Graph toolchain.

Can I use optional frontmatter sections in a v8 minimal capability fixture?▼

No, the minimal fixture tests schema acceptance using only required fields. Adding optional sections defeats its purpose of verifying that manifest generation and routing succeed with the bare minimum v8-compatible frontmatter.
