FAQPage Schema
How do I validate skill loading and YAML frontmatter parsing in unit tests?▼

Validate skill loading by applying a minimal skill in your unit tests to ensure YAML frontmatter parsing, description rendering, and activation pipelines execute correctly. It confirms the SKILL.md root presence and readable Markdown body.

What does a skill-loading pipeline check during CI validation?▼

A skill-loading pipeline checks YAML frontmatter parsing, description rendering, and activation flows. It enforces the SKILL.md root presence, verifies frontmatter contains name and description, and validates a readable Markdown body for execution-time context.

Can I use a minimal skill to test discovery and loading pipelines?▼

Yes, you can use a lightweight minimal skill to test the skill-loading pipeline by validating discovery and loading. This verifies basic activation flows and YAML frontmatter parsing without complex configurations.

Do I need a SKILL.md root file to validate skill loading?▼

Yes, the SKILL.md root file is required to validate skill loading. The loading validation enforces the SKILL.md root presence, frontmatter with name and description fields, and a readable Markdown body for execution-time context.

Why does my skill loading validation fail on YAML frontmatter parsing?▼

Skill loading validation fails on YAML frontmatter parsing when the frontmatter lacks required name and description fields. The pipeline enforces these fields alongside a SKILL.md root presence and a readable Markdown body for execution-time context.
