Validate Claude Code skills against Anthropic guidelines. Use when user says "check skill", "skillcheck", "validate SKILL.md", or asks to find issues in skill definitions. Covers structural and semantic validation. Do NOT use for anti-slop detection, security scanning, token analysis, enterprise checks, or Eval Kit generation; use skill-check-pro for those. Do NOT use for LinkedIn skill engagement; use skillcheck-engage for that.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# SkillCheck (Free)

Check skills against Anthropic guidelines and the agentskills specification. This file contains Free tier validation rules.

**Want deeper analysis?** [Upgrade to Pro](https://getskillcheck.com) for anti-slop detection, security scanning, token optimization, WCAG compliance, enterprise checks, and Eval Kit (auto-generated test prompts for your skills).

## Prerequisites

- Any AI assistant with file Read capability (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI)
- Works on any platform (Unix/macOS/Windows)
- No special tools required (Read-only; the Invisible Unicode checks also use Grep, which stays read-only)
- No environment variables or API keys required; the checks run fully offline

## Interface

- **Input**: path(s) to SKILL.md files, plus any `references/*.md` files in the same skill folder
- **Output**: a validation report listing each issue with check ID, severity (Critical / Warning / Suggestion), line number, and fix; strengths reported in a separate list
- **Modes**: runs standalone on a single skill or over a directory of skills, one report per skill

## Workflow
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add olgasafonova/skillcheck-free/skill-check@sha256:6aeaf7f3364ed683

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.33.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
