SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires py_compile, PyYAML, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the rigorous testing and validation of other Skills, ensuring they meet quality, safety, and cross-platform compatibility standards before deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Phase Testing: Conducts static code analysis, AI-driven semantic review, and dynamic execution testing.
  • Comprehensive Checks: Verifies structure, path safety, script quality, cross-platform compatibility, reference integrity, and size constraints.
  • Use Case: Before releasing a new Skill or updating an existing one, use the skill-validator to perform an automated, in-depth audit, guaranteeing it adheres to all OpenClaw best practices and security policies.

Quick Start

Use the skill-validator to validate the skill located at /path/to/new-skill.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate skill validation for quality assurance and security before deployment?

Automate skill validation by running multi-phase testing that includes static code analysis, AI semantic review, and dynamic execution testing to ensure quality and security. This process verifies structural integrity, path safety, script quality, and cross-platform compatibility before deployment.

What does pre-release skill acceptance testing check for in OpenClaw?

Pre-release skill acceptance testing checks OpenClaw skills for structural adherence, path safety, script quality, cross-platform compatibility, reference integrity, and size constraints. It combines static analysis with AI-driven semantic review and dynamic execution testing to ensure comprehensive safety.

Do I need PyYAML and py_compile to run automated code reviews on skills?

Yes, you need PyYAML and py_compile dependencies to run automated code reviews on skills. These dependencies enable the validation scripts to perform static analysis and parse YAML configurations during the multi-phase testing process.

Can I use automated testing for regression testing of skill updates?

Yes, you can use automated testing for regression testing of skill updates. The validation process performs dynamic execution testing and static analysis to catch structural, path safety, and reference integrity issues that may arise from modifying existing skills.

What's the best way to ensure cross-platform compatibility and reference integrity for new skills?

The best way to ensure cross-platform compatibility and reference integrity is through comprehensive multi-phase validation. This approach verifies path safety, checks script quality, and validates reference integrity against size constraints to guarantee skills meet cross-platform standards.

Why does dynamic execution testing fail during static analysis of skill scripts?

Dynamic execution testing may fail during static analysis if skill scripts contain structural errors, path safety violations, or size constraint exceedances. The validation process isolates static code analysis from dynamic execution to accurately identify whether script quality or runtime behavior causes failures.
