Defame1297 239ea41842 fix(kyberforge): swap plugin.json signals for apm.yml in skill-audit/forge
skill-audit's cross-plugin path check now also recognizes .apm/skills/
<other-skill>/ as a breaking reference shape, alongside the existing
plugins/<plugin>/skills/<other-skill>/ pattern — the APM-native equivalent
of the same cache-isolation problem.

forge.md's Step 4 plugin-version-bump detection switches from "any
directory containing a plugin.json" to the same apm.yml+type: walk-up
used elsewhere in this batch, and hands off to apm-workflow (bump the
single apm.yml version) instead of the deprecated plugin-author.

skill-audit

Audit a skill directory against the agentskills.io specification. Runs structural validation then a qualitative review across description quality, body discipline, patterns, formatting, file structure, scripts, and internal consistency, plus a provenance chain check.

What it does

  1. Runs scripts/validate.sh and scripts/validate-provenance.sh for structural and provenance checks, plus scripts/vale-wrap.sh — a Vale prefilter that deterministically flags known-bad description openers, vague wording, padding phrases, and "There is/are" sentence openers
  2. Reads all files in the skill directory
  3. Applies qualitative checks across seven dimensions
  4. Outputs a compact findings report — findings only, grouped by dimension, each with Why and Fix — and a result block with handoff to /skill-improve

Usage

/skill-audit

Provide the path to the skill directory to audit when invoking.

File Purpose
SKILL.md Skill instructions for agents
scripts/validate.sh Structural validator — checks name format, name matches directory, description length, line count, placeholder detection, script executable bit, and interactive-prompt detection
scripts/validate-provenance.sh Provenance validator — checks sources.md completeness, source_keys/slug consistency, Contributing files existence, bidirectional linkage, Research doc: fields, and upstream research doc alignment
scripts/vale-wrap.sh Vale prefilter wrapper — runs the bundled Kyberforge Vale styles against SKILL.md and reports alerts as deterministic FAILs ahead of Step 3's qualitative review
assets/vale/.vale.ini Vale configuration — points Vale at the bundled Kyberforge style path, self-located relative to vale-wrap.sh
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/DescriptionOpener.yml Vale rule — flags literal "This skill..."/"This agent..." description openers
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/PaddingPhrase.yml Vale rule — flags generic "see references/" padding phrasing in conditional references
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/SentenceOpenerThereIs.yml Vale rule — flags body sentences starting with "There is"/"There are"
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/VagueWording.yml Vale rule — flags known filler wording (e.g. "helps with", "utilize")
references/description-quality.md Spec-grounded rubric for description auditing — loaded when a finding is borderline
references/body-discipline.md Spec-grounded rubric for body discipline auditing — loaded when padding vs necessity is unclear
