name: skillcheck description: Validates SKILL.md files for spec-facing structure, sizing, references, cross-agent compatibility, and agent-authored critique or graph diagnostics. version: "1.3.0" author: "Brad Kinnard (moonrunnerkc), Aftermath Technologies Ltd"
Use this skill when validating a SKILL.md file or a directory of skill files with the skillcheck CLI.
Validate
Run the default symbolic checks:
skillcheck SKILL.md
skillcheck skills/ --format json
The report includes errors, warnings, and info diagnostics. Exit code 0 means no errors. Exit code 1 means at least one error, or warnings with --strict, or a regression with --fail-on-regression. Exit code 2 means input or argument error. Exit code 3 means symbolic validation passed but ingested agent critique found semantic errors.
Agent workflows
For semantic self-critique, emit a prompt and ingest the returned JSON:
skillcheck SKILL.md --emit-critique-prompt > prompt.txt
skillcheck SKILL.md --ingest-critique response.json
For capability graph work, use:
skillcheck SKILL.md --analyze-graph
skillcheck SKILL.md --emit-graph --format json
Configuration
skillcheck.toml can set CLI defaults and frontmatter extension fields:
[frontmatter]
extension_fields = ["my-org-tag", "internal-id"]
Trustgrade A
- passBody integrity
Whether the stored document is plausibly the kind of file the artifact declares, rather than something fetched by mistake.
- passType matchnot applicable to this artifact type
Whether the artifact is really the kind of thing its metadata claims it is.
- passFreshness
How long since the source repository was last pushed to.
- passPrompt injection
Scans the artifact's own text for instructions aimed at your agent rather than at you.
- passLicense
Whether the source repository declares an SPDX license permissive enough to redistribute.
How the grade is calculated
Each check contributes 0 points when it passes, 1 when it warns, and 2 when it fails. The total maps to a letter:
- Aevery check passed
- Bone warning
- Ctwo warnings
- Dprompt injection or body integrity failed, or three warnings
- Fone of those failed, and something else is wrong
These are automated hygiene checks, not a security audit, and not a dependency or vulnerability scan. A grade of A means nothing was flagged — not that the artifact is safe.
