skill-test

To validate Claude skill markdown files, use a static linter to parse SKILL.md inputs and verify required YAML frontmatter fields, phase structure, verdict keywords, and write or approval protocol expectations.

Skill protocol compliance verifies whether a skill's instructions satisfy assertions described in its corresponding test spec, checking behavioral correctness by assessing protocol language and next-step handoff recommendations.

Audit test spec coverage by mapping catalog entries against spec existence and last test results, producing a coverage snapshot that reports PASS, WARN, or FAIL outcomes across all skills and agents.

Yes, you can run static linter checks independently to verify required YAML frontmatter fields, adequate phase structure, verdict keyword presence, and end-of-skill handoff recommendations without executing behavioral tests.

The best way to prevent non-compliant skill instructions from shipping is running deterministic checks that report PASS, WARN, or FAIL outcomes for required structure, protocol behavior, and test spec coverage before deployment.
