FAQPage Schema
How do I validate YAML frontmatter name length in a SKILL.md file?▼

To validate YAML frontmatter name length, you check the SKILL.md file to confirm the name field exists and ensure its character count does not exceed the configured repository limit.

Why do ultra-long skill names break discovery and UI rendering in catalogs?▼

Ultra-long skill names break discovery because verbose names exceed standard character limits, causing indexing failures and display truncation in large skill repositories and tooling interfaces.

Does the frontmatter validator alter original files when detecting naming violations?▼

No, the frontmatter validator does not alter original files. It detects YAML frontmatter names surpassing the character limit and reports violations with actionable guidance while leaving sources untouched.

Can I check multiple Skill units for missing YAML frontmatter description fields?▼

Yes, you can check multiple Skill units. The validation process verifies that each SKILL.md file contains a YAML frontmatter with both name and description fields, surfacing actionable guidance for missing metadata.

What is the best way to enforce character limits on skill metadata across a large repository?▼

The best way to enforce character limits on skill metadata is to run a validation check that detects frontmatter names exceeding the limit and reports violations, ensuring consistent discovery across large repositories.
