- validate.sh: move FAIL lines and failure summary to stdout; stderr reserved for fatal script errors only (missing SKILL.md, bad args) - skill-audit SKILL.md: replace concrete plugins/kyberforge/skills/... example with abstract placeholder to fix meta-circularity - skill-write SKILL.md: rephrase placeholder section-heading instruction to remove embedded FILL IN: from a code span, clearing validator false positive - skill-improve SKILL.md: wrap Step 2 root-cause example in a text fence - skill-write assets/templates/README.md: update Files table to individual- file rows so skill-audit can verify per-file coverage 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.
