FAQPage Schema
How do I validate the quality of an agent skill before publishing?▼

To validate an agent skill before publishing, you can automatically review its quality across usefulness, agent structure, parallelism, MCP integration, and SKILL.md weight. The validator analyzes all skill files to generate a report with concrete refinement suggestions.

What is skill validation and what dimensions does automated code review check?▼

Skill validation is the automated code review of an agent's design, checking five specific dimensions: usefulness, agent structure, parallelism, MCP integration, and SKILL.md documentation weight to ensure quality standards are met.

Which files do I need to provide for an automated skill structure review?▼

For an automated skill structure review, you need to provide access to all skill files, specifically including SKILL.md, agents/*.md, references/*.md, and scripts/*, so the validator can assess the complete unit.

Does the skill validator work with MCP integration and parallel agent structures?▼

Yes, the skill validator explicitly checks for MCP integration suitability and parallelism within agent structures. It evaluates how well the skill leverages these dimensions during its automated review process.

Can I use skill validation on a newly created skill to get improvement suggestions?▼

Yes, you can use skill validation immediately after creating a new skill. It analyzes the design and provides actionable feedback and concrete suggestions for improvement to refine the work before publishing.
