SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validates that each skill unit's SKILL.md frontmatter and structure conform to the official standard, ensuring discoverability and SSOT consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Frontmatter validation for required fields (name, description) and version constraints.
  • Structure checks for a consistent, machine-readable body that loads into context during activation.
  • SSOT verification against the repository's single source of truth reference to prevent drift.
  • Use Case: during skill creation or updates, during code reviews, or when performing mass validation of all skills.

Quick Start

Run /skill-validate skill-validate to validate this skill, or use --all to validate every skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate SKILL.md frontmatter for required fields and structure?

To validate SKILL.md frontmatter, run a validation check that enforces required fields like name and description, verifies SSOT links, and confirms size constraints are met for standard-compliant skill units.

What is frontmatter validation and why is it needed for skill units?

Frontmatter validation checks that each skill unit's metadata conforms to the official standard, ensuring discoverability and SSOT consistency. It prevents drift by verifying required fields and structure against the repository's single source of truth.

Can I perform mass validation of all skills across a repository?

Yes, you can perform mass validation of all skills across the repository by running the validation tool with an --all flag, checking every skill unit's frontmatter and structure for standard compliance.

How do I check skill structure during a code review?

To check skill structure during a code review, validate the SKILL.md file to ensure it has a consistent, machine-readable body that loads into context during activation, along with correct frontmatter and SSOT links.

What are the limitations of automated skill validation?

Automated skill validation is limited to checking structural compliance, required frontmatter fields, SSOT link verification, and size constraints. It does not assess the semantic quality or functional accuracy of the skill's internal logic.
