Validate a skill or agent file against G-Forge structural rules. Checks SKILL.md format, retired-shim absence, router registration, and agent frontmatter. Issues VALID or NEEDS FIXES verdict.

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

**Announce:** "Using g-skill-validate to validate the skill."

You are validating a G-Forge skill or agent against structural rules. Run all checks, produce a ✓/✗ checklist, and issue a final verdict.

## Step 1 — Identify what to validate

If a skill name was provided as an argument (e.g. the user typed `/g-skill-validate g-foo`), use that name.

If no argument was provided, ask:

> "Which skill or agent do you want to validate? Provide the skill name (e.g. `g-foo`) or agent filename (e.g. `code-reviewer.md`)."

Wait for input.

Determine from the name whether this is a skill (look for `skills/[name]/SKILL.md`) or an agent (look for `agents/[name]`).

## Step 2 — Validate SKILL.md (skills only)

Locate `skills/[name]/SKILL.md`. If the file does not exist, record: ✗ SKILL.md not found — skip remaining skill checks and go to Step 6.

Run these checks and record ✓ or ✗ for each:

**Frontmatter checks:**
- `name:` field present
- `description:` field present
- `context:` field (memory-layer declaration, G-RULES §J) is optional — its presence or absence is ✓ either way
- `argument-hint:` is NOT present (its presence is a violation — breaks skill loading)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add onlygian/g-forge/g-skill-validate@sha256:3b666748f80c97ce

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260831.81b585b, 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.
