Skill Release Guard

Use this skill right before packaging or publishing a skill.

Workflow

Inspect the target skill directory.
Confirm SKILL.md exists and frontmatter has only name and description.
Check naming convention, folder layout, and presence of obvious clutter files.
Run scripts/check_skill_release.js to generate a compact release checklist.
Fix guard failures before publishing.

Script

node skills/skill-release-guard/scripts/check_skill_release.js \
  --skill skills/my-skill \
  --out out/my-skill-release-check.json

Guardrails

Fail if the folder name and frontmatter name diverge.
Flag clutter docs like README/CHANGELOG/INSTALL guides.
Flag missing description or overly vague description.
Treat script syntax failures as release blockers.
