FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a skill submission for registry compliance?

To validate a skill submission for registry compliance, the review process checks frontmatter accuracy, file structure, and `skill.json` alignment with registry criteria using the catalog validation toolchain. It assesses tooling references and release packaging to ensure submissions meet spec criteria.

What does a skill security and quality review check?

A skill security and quality review checks frontmatter and file-structure validations, verifies `skill.json` and `SKILL.md` alignment with registry criteria, and flags issues in tooling references and release packaging. It documents findings to guide submitters toward fixing problems in their PRs.

How do I automate skill review checks in pull requests?

You can automate skill review checks in pull requests by applying the catalog validation toolchain to new or updated skills. This standardizes the review process for registry compliance, security, and quality, automatically generating actionable guidance to help submitters resolve issues and accelerate approvals.

Does the skill review tool require specific dependencies to run?

No specific dependencies are required to run the skill review tool. It operates independently using a built-in catalog validation toolchain to assess frontmatter, file structures, and release packaging, ensuring registry compliance and security without needing external components.

Why does my skill submission fail registry compliance validation?

Your skill submission may fail registry compliance validation due to inaccurate frontmatter, misaligned `skill.json` or `SKILL.md` files, incorrect file structure, or invalid tooling references. The review toolchain documents these specific findings to help you identify and fix the flagged issues.

Can I use skill review to check `SKILL.md` alignment with `skill.json`?

Yes, you can use the skill review process to check `SKILL.md` alignment with `skill.json`. It explicitly validates this alignment alongside frontmatter accuracy and file-structure compliance to ensure new or updated skills meet registry criteria before inclusion.
