SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps verify whether a skill is ready for public release by checking privacy risks, frontmatter correctness, folder standards, and whether the claimed behavior matches the included resources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Public-safety review: Flags private paths, emails, tokens, usernames, and other sensitive details before publication.
  • Contract and structure validation: Checks that SKILL.md uses acceptable frontmatter fields, matches the folder name, and follows the expected public-skill layout.
  • Truthfulness review: Compares the skill’s stated behavior against its scripts, references, and metadata so unsupported claims can be caught early.
  • Use case: A maintainer can review a candidate skill before moving it into a public catalog and quickly identify blockers that must be fixed first.

Quick Start

Ask the publication-review skill to audit a target skill directory for privacy issues, frontmatter mismatches, unsupported claims, and missing public-readiness requirements.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I check a skill directory for privacy risks before public release?

To check a skill directory for privacy risks before public release, audit the folder for private paths, emails, tokens, and usernames. This publication review flags sensitive metadata exposure so you can block unsafe details from reaching a public catalog.

What is skill frontmatter validation and why does it matter for publishing?

Skill frontmatter validation checks that SKILL.md uses acceptable metadata fields, matches the folder name, and follows the expected public layout. Validating frontmatter ensures the skill contract is structurally correct and consistent before catalog publication.

How do I verify a skill's claimed behavior matches its scripts and references?

Verifying a skill's claimed behavior against its scripts and references requires a truthfulness review. This process compares stated functionality in SKILL.md with included resources to catch unsupported claims early before moving the skill into a public catalog.

Does publication review work with imported local skills and collection-level claims?

Publication review works with candidate skills, imported local skills, and collection-level publication claims. It inspects SKILL.md, optional scripts, references, and generated metadata to confirm the skill contract is truthful and safe for pre-publication validation.

What are common public-readiness blockers found during a skill audit?

Common public-readiness blockers found during a skill audit include frontmatter mismatches, sensitive metadata exposure like private paths or tokens, unsupported behavioral claims, and folder convention errors. Identifying these blockers early lets maintainers fix requirements before publication.

When do I need to run a pre-publication validation check on my skill metadata?

You need to run pre-publication validation on skill metadata when moving a candidate skill into a public catalog. This review confirms privacy safety, frontmatter validity, folder conventions, and resource consistency to ensure the published skill contract is truthful.
