## Project

Conformance suite for Agent Skills (SKILL.md): lints skills against the agentskills.io spec today; roadmap is headless cross-runtime execution tests + a public caniuse-style compatibility matrix. Public OSS, npm package `@sagargupta1610/skillcheck`.

## Stack

- **Language**: TypeScript 7 (strict, ESM, NodeNext)

- **Framework**: none -- CLI via commander, JS bundled by tsup, `.d.ts` emitted by `tsc`

- **Database**: none

- **Package manager**: pnpm

## Run

```

pnpm install

pnpm dev # tsup --watch (JS only, no .d.ts)

pnpm build # tsup -> dist/*.js, then tsc --emitDeclarationOnly -> dist/*.d.ts

node dist/cli.js lint fixtures/valid-skill

```

## Test

```

pnpm test # vitest

pnpm lint # biome

pnpm typecheck

```

## Entry points

- `src/cli.ts` -- commander CLI (`skillcheck lint`)

- `src/index.ts` -- library exports (lintSkillDir, parseSkillMd, types)

## Key files

- `src/lint/rules.ts` -- the "brain": all lint rule implementations and limits

- `src/extensions.ts` -- SPEC_FIELDS + KNOWN_EXTENSIONS typed registry (spec fields, client extension fields)

- `src/lint/parse.ts` -- SKILL.md frontmatter/body splitter (never throws)

- `fixtures/` -- valid-skill and broken-skill lint fixtures used by tests and CI smoke test

## Gotchas

- The Agent Skills spec is UNVERSIONED -- when rules change upstream, pin claims to a spec-repo git SHA in the finding message/docs.

- Severity model is three-tier by design: error = skills-ref strict parity, warning = beyond-parity checks + client-guide downgrades, info = advisory (never gates CI). `--profile strict` is the default; `--profile lenient` downgrades `name-too-long`, `name-dir-mismatch`, `unknown-frontmatter-field` to warnings (`--strict` is a deprecated alias for the default). Don't collapse the tiers.

- `KNOWN_EXTENSIONS` in `src/extensions.ts` tracks client extension fields (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, OpenCode); update it when runtimes ship new frontmatter keys.

- Name collision landscape: getskillcheck.com is an unrelated paid static-analysis product; npm unscoped `skillcheck`/`skill-check` are taken. This package is scoped `@sagargupta1610/skillcheck` on purpose.

- **Never set `dts: true` in `tsup.config.ts`.** tsup bundles `rollup-plugin-dts@6.1.1` into its own `dist/rollup.js` rather than installing it, and that vendored copy calls a TS compiler internal the native TypeScript 7 port removed -- the build dies on `Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'useCaseSensitiveFileNames')`. No dependency bump reaches a bundled module. Declarations come from `tsc --emitDeclarationOnly` in the `build` script instead, which tracks whatever TS version is installed. tsup 9.0.0 (2026-10) re-vendors rollup-plugin-dts 6.5.1, the version that declares `typescript: ^4.5 || ^5 || ^6 || ^7`, so `dts: true` may work again; switching back is optional and untested.

## Repo-specific rules

- v0.2+ runtime execution work must NEVER run agent CLIs outside Docker containers, and user API keys are supplied by env var only -- never stored.
