Defame1297 1164f3abad fix(lint): make Vale prefilter portable via the plugin
skill-audit/agent-audit's Step 1 resolved vale-wrap.sh/.vale.ini via
`git rev-parse --show-toplevel`, which returns whichever repo the skill
happens to run in. Inside ai-development that works; in any external repo
that installs kyberforge@holocron as a plugin, it resolves to that repo's
own root, which has no .vale.ini — the prefilter silently fell back to
full LLM judgment. ADR-0013 named this as a deliberately deferred gap.

Vale's config/styles/wrapper now ship inside the plugin itself: a
canonical copy in agent-audit/assets/vale/ (Kyberforge + KyberforgeCopilot,
the superset agent-audit needs) and a smaller duplicate in
skill-audit/assets/vale/ (Kyberforge only) — per the no-cross-skill-path
rule already established for plugin cache-installs. Both skills resolve
these relative to their own directory, same as scripts/validate.sh
already does.

A new root .pre-commit-hooks.yaml exposes both copies plus
skill-size-check so any external repo can enforce the same rules via
`repo: <this-repo-url>, rev: <tag>` in its own pre-commit config,
independent of Claude Code entirely — the same mechanism covers CI. This
repo's own pre-commit hook now consumes the identical plugin-bundled
copies via repo: local (not a third root copy, and not a pinned
self-reference, which would lint working-tree edits against the last
tagged release instead of the change being made). Split into
vale-audit-prefilter-skill/-agent hooks after confirming, by diffing the
full corpus against both old and new config before deleting the old
files, that one combined hook pointed at only one copy silently 0-file-
skips the other file type.

scripts/check-vale-style-sync.sh guards the two copies against drift,
wired at pre-push alongside check-manifests.

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
  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.
