Skill Frontmatter Doctor

tibsfox/skill-frontmatter-doctor

Use when authoring or reviewing a SKILL.md or agent .md and you need to detect and fix the four most common frontmatter defects — echoed or truncated triggers, tools written as a YAML array instead of a comma-separated string, a description outside the 1-1024 character bound, and a missing "Use when..." clause.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take tibsfox/skill-frontmatter-doctor from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
