FAQPage Schema
How do I validate agent skills against best practices before publishing?

Skill validation checks frontmatter format, description length, token usage under 5000, and file link integrity. Run the validator on your skill directory to catch structure and compliance issues automatically before deployment.

What checks does skill validation perform on frontmatter and structure?

Validation enforces frontmatter presence and correct format, ensures descriptions exclude XML content and meet length requirements, verifies examples and purpose statements exist, and confirms all cross-file links are intact.

Can I use skill validation during skill creation and editing, or only before publishing?

Skill validation applies throughout the skill lifecycle—during creation, editing, and auditing stages—so you can catch quality issues early rather than waiting until final publication.

What token usage limits does skill validation enforce?

Skill validation enforces a maximum token usage of 5000 to ensure skills remain efficient and within resource constraints during execution.

Does skill validation check for missing related skills and dependencies?

Yes, validation confirms the presence of related skills references and verifies that all command and dependency references are correctly defined and linked within the skill.

What file formats and components does skill validation inspect?

Validation inspects scripts, references, and assets components, checking frontmatter compliance, description content, link integrity, and naming conventions across all skill files.
