SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill evaluates how platforms handle nonstandard frontmatter fields that appear in a skill manifest, ensuring authors can validate platform compatibility and detect silent ignores.

Core Features & Use Cases

Identify visibility of nonstandard fields such as requires, depends-on, and priority.
Observe platform behavior when loading probe-loading and dependency fields.
Validate platform warnings or silent acceptance to maintain compatibility across platforms.

Quick Start

Activate this skill to report which nonstandard frontmatter fields are visible and how the platform responds to them.

FAQPage Schema

How do I test nonstandard frontmatter fields in a skill manifest?▼

To test nonstandard frontmatter fields, activate this skill to report which fields like requires, depends-on, and priority are visible and observe how the platform responds during loading. It identifies whether fields are recognized or ignored consistently.

Why does my platform silently ignore nonstandard frontmatter fields?▼

Platforms may silently ignore nonstandard frontmatter fields if they lack validation rules. This skill detects silent acceptance and prompts warnings for unrecognized fields, ensuring authors can validate platform compatibility and maintain consistent field interpretation.

Can I validate platform compatibility for skill loading with nonstandard fields?▼

You can validate platform compatibility by observing platform behavior when loading probe-loading and dependency fields. This skill evaluates visibility, interpretation, and validation of nonstandard frontmatter fields to ensure consistent recognition or rejection across platforms.

What happens when a platform loads unsupported frontmatter fields?▼

When a platform loads unsupported frontmatter fields, it may either recognize or ignore them consistently. This skill evaluates that exact platform behavior, reporting the visibility of nonstandard fields and validating whether warnings are prompted for unrecognized entries.

Does this skill check dependency frontmatter fields during platform loading?▼

Yes, this skill observes platform behavior specifically when loading probe-loading and dependency fields. It evaluates how these nonstandard frontmatter fields are handled, ensuring visibility and consistent interpretation during the skill activation process.
