Move test infrastructure (validate.bats, new-skill.bats) from scripts/ to tests/ — the spec defines scripts/ as executable code agents can run, so test files don't belong there. Add tests/README.md placeholders with bats-support dependency declaration. Update skill-audit to permit tests/ and flag other unlisted directories, add scripts/ purpose check, and add /skill-improve near-miss exclusion. Update skill-improve and skill-write to cover tests/ in directory lists, scaffold template, and authoring guidance. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
skill-audit
Audit a skill directory against the agentskills.io specification. Runs structural validation then a qualitative review across description quality, body discipline, formatting, file structure, and internal consistency.
What it does
- Runs
scripts/validate.shfor structural checks (name format, description length, line count, placeholder detection, script rules) - Reads all files in the skill directory
- Applies qualitative checks across seven dimensions
- 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.
