Structural validation in a CI pipeline confirms a SKILL.md file exists at the root with mandatory frontmatter fields. This ensures the Skill unit passes structural integrity checks as a lightweight test fixture.

The required frontmatter fields for a valid SKILL.md file are name and description. Enforcing these mandatory fields ensures the Skill unit maintains structural integrity for tooling and testing.

You need to run structural validation tests for skill directories when integrating them into CI pipelines or internal tooling. This verifies that each Skill unit has a root SKILL.md with proper frontmatter.

Yes, you can use a minimal fixture to test skill unit integrity by providing a simple Markdown body and required frontmatter. This serves as a lightweight validated fixture for structural validation tests.

Skill validation requires no external dependencies or components. It performs structural validation directly by checking for the presence of SKILL.md and enforcing mandatory frontmatter fields.

The best way to enforce mandatory fields in a skill structure is to validate the SKILL.md frontmatter for the name and description fields. This provides a simple validated fixture for structural integrity tests.
