* fix(ci): flag SKILL.md frontmatter defects in validate-skills
Issue #1663 reported two SKILL.md frontmatter defects (missing `name:`
on skill-stocktake; literal block-scalar `description: |-` on
openclaw-persona-forge) that PR #1664 addresses at the data level.
This change is complementary: it extends `scripts/ci/validate-skills.js`
to catch the same class of defect statically going forward, so the
frontmatter-vs-renderer problems do not silently reappear as new skills
land.
## Checks added
- Frontmatter must declare a `name:` field.
- Frontmatter `description:` must not use a literal block scalar
(`|` / `|-` / `|+`) — these preserve internal newlines and break
flat-table renderers keyed off `description`. Folded (`>`) and inline
strings are accepted.
## Behavior
- Frontmatter findings default to WARN (exit 0) so this PR does not
break CI while the two known offenders are still on main. Pass
`--strict` or set `CI_STRICT_SKILLS=1` to promote them to ERROR
(exit 1). Structural findings (missing / empty SKILL.md) remain
errors as before.
- Today against main, the validator reports exactly two warnings —
the same two files called out in #1663 — and exits 0. When #1664
lands, the validator reports zero warnings, at which point strict
mode can be enabled in CI.
## Parser notes
- Bespoke frontmatter parser mirrors the style of `validate-agents.js`
(tolerant of UTF-8 BOM and CRLF; no new npm dependency).
- Block-scalar continuation lines are skipped so keys inside a block
scalar are not mistaken for top-level keys.
- Hidden directories (`.something/`) under skills/ are now skipped.
## Tests
Adds five focused tests to `tests/ci/validators.test.js`:
- warns when frontmatter is missing `name` (default mode)
- errors when frontmatter is missing `name` (--strict mode)
- warns on literal block-scalar description (|-)
- accepts folded (>) and inline descriptions under --strict
- skips hidden directories under skills/
## Docs
Adds two bullets to the `Skill Checklist` in CONTRIBUTING.md covering
the two rules now surfaced by the validator.
Refs #1663. Complements (does not compete with) #1664.

* fix(ci): harden SKILL.md frontmatter checks after bot review
Address findings from CodeRabbit, Greptile, and cubic on #1669:
- Guard empty or whitespace-only `name:` values. Previously
`name: ` silently passed because the presence check only
tested key-set membership; now inspectFrontmatter captures
trimmed values and validate flags an explicit 'name is empty'
WARN/ERROR.
- Broaden block-scalar detection to cover YAML 1.2 indent
indicators (`|2`, `|-2`, `>2-`) and trailing comments
(`|- # note`). The old regex required a bare `|`/`>` with
optional `+`/`-`, which let valid-but-disallowed forms slip
through.
- Update CONTRIBUTING.md checklist to list `|+` alongside `|`
and `|-` for parity with the validator.
- Extend runSkillsValidator to accept env overrides and add four
regression tests: empty name, |+ description, |-2 + comment, and
CI_STRICT_SKILLS=1.
* fix(ci): address round-2 review on validate-skills frontmatter
- Tighten extractFrontmatter closing delimiter to require a newline or
end-of-file after the closing `---`, so body lines beginning with
`---text` are not parsed as frontmatter (CodeRabbit).
- Strip both trailing and comment-only values in inspectFrontmatter, so
`name: # todo` is surfaced as empty rather than silently passing
(cubic P2).
- Extract validateSkillDir helper so the per-directory validation
block moves out of validateSkills, keeping both functions under the
50-line guideline (CodeRabbit nit).
- Hoist runSkillsValidator to module scope in the test harness and
share the spawnSync import with execFileSync so the helper stops
re-requiring child_process on every invocation (CodeRabbit nit).
- Add regression tests: comment-only `name:` values must fail strict
mode; `---trailing` body lines must not be parsed as frontmatter.

- Add try-catch around readFileSync in validate-agents, validate-commands,
validate-skills to handle TOCTOU races and file read errors
- Add validate-hooks.js and all test suites to package.json test script
(was only running 4/5 validators and 0/4 test files)
- Fix shell variable injection in observe.sh: use os.environ instead of
interpolating $timestamp/$OBSERVATIONS_FILE into Python string literals
- Fix $? always being 0 in start-observer.sh: capture exit code before
conditional since `if !` inverts the status
- Add OLD_VERSION validation in release.sh and use pipe delimiter in sed
to avoid issues with slash-containing values
- Add jq dependency check in evaluate-session.sh before parsing config
- Sync .cursor/ copies of all modified shell scripts
