Validation Checklist

For each skill directory, verify:

Spec Compliance (agentskills.io)

Check	Rule

`name` matches directory	Directory name must equal `name` field
`description` length	1-1024 characters, non-empty
Optional fields valid	`license`, `metadata`, `compatibility` if present

Best Practices (Claude Code)

Check	Rule
Description format	Third person, describes what + when to use
Body length	Under 500 lines
References one-level deep	No nested reference chains
Links are markdown	Use `[text](path)` not bare filenames
No redundancy	Don't repeat description in body
Concise	Only add context Claude doesn't already have

How to Run
