SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? After a skill finishes running, there is no built-in way to confirm it actually worked as designed—files may have failed to load, nested skills may have been skipped, or steps may have been silently missed. This Skill provides a structured post-execution review to catch those issues. ## Core Features & Use Cases - File Loading Validation: Checks that SKILL.md and all referenced files (references/, scripts/, assets/) were actually loaded during execution, flagging missing or truncated reads. - Nested Skill Verification: Confirms that skills calling other skills loaded them correctly, passed context properly, and followed their workflows. - Output and Error Review: Verifies expected outputs were produced and identifies errors, edge cases, or deviations from the intended workflow. - Use Case: After running a complex skill like execute-project that chains multiple nested skills, invoke this review to confirm every step executed correctly and receive a concise report of what worked and what did not. ## Quick Start Say "validate skill" after a skill finishes executing to run a post-execution review and get a report of what worked and any issues found.

Frequently Asked Questions about validate-skill-functionality

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate that a skill executed correctly?

Invoke the validation workflow after the skill completes by saying "validate skill" or "check skill". It reviews the conversation history, confirms all required files were loaded, verifies nested skills ran, and reports findings in five lines or fewer.

How to check if a skill loaded its referenced files?

The validation workflow reviews all Read tool calls in the conversation and cross-checks them against files referenced in SKILL.md, such as references/, scripts/, and assets/. It flags missing files, "File not found" errors, and truncated reads.

What is a nested skill and how is it validated?

A nested skill is one skill invoked by another during execution, such as execute-project calling create-skill. Validation confirms the nested skill was loaded via the loader or explicit Read, its workflow was followed, and context passed correctly between skills.

When should I run skill validation?

Run it at the end of a skill's full execution workflow, not mid-execution. It is designed as a post-execution review to catch issues like skipped steps, unloaded references, or incorrect outputs after the skill has finished.

Does skill validation create documentation files?

No. The workflow explicitly reports findings verbally in five lines or fewer, covering what worked, issues found, and recommendations. It follows the orchestrator rule prohibiting documentation file creation.
