skill-validator

To validate AI agent skills for AGENTS.md compliance in CI, run a skill-validator on the skill directory to verify YAML frontmatter schema correctness, required field presence, and documentation completeness without executing skill logic.

Agentskills.io schema validation for machine-consumable skills is the process of verifying that YAML frontmatter includes required fields like name and description, ensuring definitions remain machine-readable and properly formatted according to repository governance rules.

To lint skill documentation and YAML frontmatter during development, apply a skill-validator to check for proper formatting, verify required fields exist, and ensure linked README documents conform to agentskills.io guidance for clear, consistent skills.

Yes, you can use skill validation for repository audits without executing skill logic, as the skill-validator enforces schema correctness, required frontmatter fields, and documentation completeness strictly through static analysis.

No, you do not need dependencies to check skill definitions against agentskills.io standards, because the skill-validator operates with no external dependencies to verify YAML integrity, field presence, and documentation compliance.

Skill validation fails when linked documentation is missing because the skill-validator enforces documentation completeness by ensuring README and linked docs exist and conform to guidance for clear, consistent, machine-consumable skills.
