Add references/description-quality.md and references/body-discipline.md to skill-audit — condensed, rubric-focused extracts from the agentskills.io specification docs. Both files are loaded conditionally via progressive disclosure triggers added to Step 3 (Description and Body discipline dimensions), so the agent consults the spec source when a finding is borderline rather than relying solely on inline heuristics developed during the skill-write authoring cycle.

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.
