AGENTS.md told an offline agent to push with SKIP=apm-marketplace-check and asserted that hook was "the only one whose failure mode is 'no network'". Running all 12 pre-push hooks under a network namespace shows two fail, for one shared cause: apm-pack-check-clean resolves the same remote entry. An exact pin does not remove the ls-remote, so both hooks are named now. AGENTS.md also said everything in a plugin root except .apm/ is generated. Plugin roots carry hand-authored README.md, docs/, bin/, sources.md and .mcp.json, so an agent would hunt for an .apm/ source that does not exist or refuse the edit. The rule is positional: immunity belongs to the plugin root, and anything inside a mirrored directory is still rm -rf'd. ADR-0017 said apm strips a hooks field. The real loop is (agents, skills, commands, instructions) -- hooks absent, instructions never mentioned -- and it can never fire, because synthesize_plugin_json_from_apm_yml only emits the eight identity fields. The decision stands; the mechanism was overstated. Its mcpServers amendment is rewritten for the pointer payload and now records the real reason: inlining bypassed apm's credential sanitizer. ADR-0015's owner.email and version-pin passages are corrected against the apm source, and ADR-0016 gains the disallowedTools amendment. agent-audit's allowlist is data, so it gains disallowedTools too -- the ADR and the validator that enforces it had come apart. architecture.md described a root CLAUDE.md that imports two files (it imports one, plus an RTK block) and pointed at an ADR index that does not exist. Seven skill READMEs listed tests/ files the mirror strips, promising installed users files their install lacks; those rows are marked source-only, with the depth-4 template tests explicitly called out as surviving. And plugins/kyberforge/hooks/README.md, deleted during the conversion and preserved nowhere, is restored to a path the mirror does not own -- verified by running a sync against a scratch copy.

# 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 |
|
|
| `tests/validate.bats` | (source-only) Bats test suite for validate.sh |
|
|
| `tests/validate-provenance.bats` | (source-only) Bats test suite for validate-provenance.sh |
|
|
| `tests/README.md` | (source-only) Setup instructions for bats-support and bats-assert test dependencies |
|
|
|
|
Rows marked **(source-only)** exist in the authoring source (`.apm/skills/skill-audit/`) but are
|
|
not present in an installed plugin: `scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh` strips
|
|
`<category>/<name>/tests` when it generates the flat mirror, because these are dev-time fixtures no
|
|
plugin host needs to discover (ADR-0017). Run them from a repo checkout, not from an install.
