README Skill Validator

Purpose

This skill validates that the README.md accurately documents all skills in the repository.

Validation Process

When asked to validate a skill's documentation:

1. Read the skill's SKILL.md to understand:

   • The skill's name from frontmatter
   • The skill's description from frontmatter
   • What the skill actually does (from the body)

2. Read the README.md and find the skill's entry in the "Our Skills" section

3. Verify the documentation:

   • The skill name must appear in the README
   • The README description should accurately reflect what the skill does
   • Key capabilities should be mentioned

4. Output format (IMPORTANT: follow exactly):

   • If valid: Output only the word VALID
   • If invalid: Output INVALID: followed by a brief explanation of what needs to be fixed

Examples
