To detect unlisted helper dependencies in a shipped skill manifest, inspect the skill for .claude-prefixed module references that are absent from the shipped manifest and report them as blocker findings.

A shippability review fixture for manifest consistency is a test that verifies a shipped skill does not rely on runtime helpers that were never included in the release manifest, failing when private helpers are called outside the published inventory.

You validate release readiness for .claude skills by running automated checks that exercise manifest gap detection, confirming the skill does not invoke private helpers missing from the shipped inventory.

Yes, this manifest consistency check reports missing helpers as shippability failures by identifying .claude helper references absent from the shipped manifest and flagging them as blockers.

The limitation of automated manifest gap detection for skills is that it specifically targets .claude-prefixed module references, meaning it will not detect unmanifested dependencies using other naming conventions or external runtime injections.
