Defame1297 7910b8b12c docs(kyberforge): fix path drift and content gaps from apm conversion
The apm conversion (5e23250) moved skills/agents to plugins/<name>/.apm/
and deleted plugin-author/marketplace-author, but a review against issue
#90's Definition of Done found several stale pre-conversion references
left behind by straight git-mv's, plus one real content gap:

- ADR-0014 still documented the old flat vale-prefilter paths in 6
  places, despite ADR-0015 claiming it had been updated.
- ADR-0015 also overclaimed: it said ADR-0014 had both a skills/ and an
  agents/ path regex updated, but ADR-0014 never had an agents/ path
  regex to begin with (its one "agents" mention is a Vale glob-section
  identifier, not a filesystem path). Corrected the wording.
- CONTEXT.md's Skill glossary entry, its Vale-prefilter section, and its
  plugin-author/marketplace-author forward-pointer all still described
  the pre-conversion layout or a "pending issue #90" state that has since
  landed.
- LESSONS.md and two skill test READMEs pointed at skill-author/
  skill-audit/agent-author paths without the .apm/ segment.
- apm-workflow/references/marketplace.md cited plugin-author/SKILL.md's
  Gotchas for the Claude Code reserved plugin-name-prefix list, but that
  list was never actually carried into apm-workflow during the
  conversion despite ADR-0015 claiming it was. Recovered the list from
  git history and inlined it directly rather than leaving a dangling
  citation.
- agent-author/references/deployment-modes.md had an example
  contradicting its own stated .apm/agents/ convention two lines above.

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, plus scripts/vale-wrap.sh — a Vale prefilter that deterministically flags known-bad description openers, vague wording, padding phrases, and "There is/are" sentence openers
  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.

Files

File Purpose
SKILL.md Skill instructions for agents
scripts/validate.sh Structural validator — checks name format, name matches directory, description length, line count, placeholder detection, script executable bit, and interactive-prompt detection
scripts/validate-provenance.sh Provenance validator — checks sources.md completeness, source_keys/slug consistency, Contributing files existence, bidirectional linkage, Research doc: fields, and upstream research doc alignment
scripts/vale-wrap.sh Vale prefilter wrapper — runs the bundled Kyberforge Vale styles against SKILL.md and reports alerts as deterministic FAILs ahead of Step 3's qualitative review
assets/vale/.vale.ini Vale configuration — points Vale at the bundled Kyberforge style path, self-located relative to vale-wrap.sh
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/DescriptionOpener.yml Vale rule — flags literal "This skill..."/"This agent..." description openers
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/PaddingPhrase.yml Vale rule — flags generic "see references/" padding phrasing in conditional references
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/SentenceOpenerThereIs.yml Vale rule — flags body sentences starting with "There is"/"There are"
assets/vale/styles/Kyberforge/VagueWording.yml Vale rule — flags known filler wording (e.g. "helps with", "utilize")
references/description-quality.md Spec-grounded rubric for description auditing — loaded when a finding is borderline
references/body-discipline.md Spec-grounded rubric for body discipline auditing — loaded when padding vs necessity is unclear
references/sources.md Provenance record — agentskills.io sources that informed this skill and which files each contributed to
