- Move validate.sh ownership to skill-audit/scripts/ — it is the canonical structural validator; skill-write now delegates Step 5 to /skill-audit - Add skill-write/references/scripts.md and deployment-modes.md for progressive disclosure of package runner patterns and plugin cache isolation rules - Fix skill-audit Step 1 cross-skill path reference (was repo-absolute, now skill-relative); add manual fallback for sandboxed/Bash-denied contexts - Scope Step 2 "read every file" to exclude binaries and unreferenced files - Fix new-skill.sh next-steps output to reference /skill-audit instead of the removed validate.sh - Remove stale Dependencies section from skill-audit README; flip dependency arrow — skill-write depends on skill-audit, not vice versa 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 PASS/FAIL/SUGGESTION punch list with a specific fix proposal for every FAIL
Usage
/skill-audit
Provide the path to the skill directory to audit when invoking.
