FAQPage Schema
How do I validate skill loading and YAML frontmatter parsing in unit tests?

Validate skill loading by applying a minimal skill in your unit tests to ensure YAML frontmatter parsing, description rendering, and activation pipelines execute correctly. It confirms the SKILL.md root presence and readable Markdown body.

What does a skill-loading pipeline check during CI validation?

A skill-loading pipeline checks YAML frontmatter parsing, description rendering, and activation flows. It enforces the SKILL.md root presence, verifies frontmatter contains name and description, and validates a readable Markdown body for execution-time context.

Can I use a minimal skill to test discovery and loading pipelines?

Yes, you can use a lightweight minimal skill to test the skill-loading pipeline by validating discovery and loading. This verifies basic activation flows and YAML frontmatter parsing without complex configurations.

Do I need a SKILL.md root file to validate skill loading?

Yes, the SKILL.md root file is required to validate skill loading. The loading validation enforces the SKILL.md root presence, frontmatter with name and description fields, and a readable Markdown body for execution-time context.

Why does my skill loading validation fail on YAML frontmatter parsing?

Skill loading validation fails on YAML frontmatter parsing when the frontmatter lacks required name and description fields. The pipeline enforces these fields alongside a SKILL.md root presence and a readable Markdown body for execution-time context.
