Skills Validator

When to Use

This is Step 3 of the refactoring workflow:

1. analyze → Identifies issues
2. extract → Performs refactoring
3. validate ← You are here

Prerequisite: Refactoring completed by skills-extractor.

Workflow

Step 1: Reference Check

Verify all references exist and YAML frontmatter is intact.

Checklist: references/checklist.md

Step 2: Content Check

Compare before/after to ensure triggers, actions, and output format unchanged.

Step 3: Generate Test Prompts

Create test prompts from each skill's description to verify activation.

Output

Copy# Validation Report

## Reference Check
- [x] skill-a: All references valid
- [ ] skill-b: Missing `shared/example.md`

## Test Prompts
- "[trigger phrase]" → Should activate [skill-name]

## Issues Found
- [List any problems]

Next Step

If issues found → Fix and re-run validation If all pass → Refactoring complete
