skill-validator

To validate an agent skill folder, run the validator to confirm its SKILL.md structure, frontmatter, and isolation from external dependencies. This ensures the folder is correct, readable, and installable without relying on other skills.

Skill structure validation checks for SKILL.md presence, verifies frontmatter, and assesses optional subdirectories like scripts, references, and assets. It ensures documentation quality, cross-references, and isolation from other skills.

Yes, you can perform a security audit on agent skills. The validator executes automated security checks and produces an audit-style report with a pass or fail result, ensuring readiness and isolation from external dependencies.

The best way to check for external dependencies is running a validation pass that assesses skill isolation. It detects duplicate references and verifies the folder operates independently without requiring other skills to function.

You need a SKILL.md file with frontmatter for validation. Optional subdirectories like scripts, references, and assets are also verified to ensure the folder structure meets quality and readability standards.

Skill validation produces a token-weight assessment to quantify the documentation and structural content size. This structured report helps developers understand the overhead and verify isolation during the comprehensive audit workflow.
