Audits an existing pm-skills skill against structural conventions and quality criteria. Produces a structured validation report with pass/fail checks, severity-graded findings, and actionable recommendations. Use when checking whether a skill meets repo standards before shipping or after making changes.
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
# PM Skill Validate This skill audits an existing pm-skills skill against the repo's structural conventions and quality criteria. It produces a validation report that a human can scan and that `utility-pm-skill-iterate` can consume as input. The validator checks two tiers: - **Tier 1 (Structural)** - deterministic checks that mirror CI: frontmatter, naming, file presence, description word count. - **Tier 2 (Quality)** - LLM-assessed coherence checks: does the output contract reference the template? Is the example complete? Are checklist items testable? ## When to Use - After creating a skill with `utility-pm-skill-builder`, before shipping - After manually editing a skill, to confirm it still passes conventions - Before running `utility-pm-skill-iterate`, to identify what needs improvement - When a convention changes, to audit which skills need updating (batch mode) - When reviewing a contributed skill for quality and completeness ## When NOT to Use - To create a new skill from scratch -> use `utility-pm-skill-builder` - To fix or improve a skill -> use `utility-pm-skill-iterate` (feed it this report) …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/pm-skills/utility-pm-skill-validate@sha256:6cd809efcef4945cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
