Skill Release Guard

Use this skill right before packaging or publishing a skill.

Workflow

1. Inspect the target skill directory.
2. Confirm SKILL.md exists and frontmatter has only name and description.
3. Check naming convention, folder layout, and presence of obvious clutter files.
4. Run scripts/check_skill_release.js to generate a compact release checklist.
5. 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.
