SKILL.MD SPEC LITERACY - skill-master spells out the full frontmatter schema: required fields, optional - fields, validation rules, name constraints (1-64 chars, lowercase, no --, - must match folder). skill-discovery assumes the agent already knows the spec. - An agent discovering a skill cannot verify frontmatter conformance without - loading another skill or reading the spec externally. +### Pre-commit hooks -2. DESCRIPTION QUALITY FORMULA - skill-master provides: - [Product] [core function]. Covers [2-3 topics]. Keywords: [terms]. - With constraints (80-150 chars, no marketing, no filler) and good/bad - examples. skill-discovery has nothing equivalent. Its workflow says "search - name, description, tags" but does not teach what a good description looks - like — relevant when evaluating whether a candidate description is - trustworthy signal or noise. +Deferred.

SCAFFOLDING AND VALIDATION TOOLS - skill-master ships 4 scripts: - init_skill.py — scaffold new skill - quick_validate_skill.py — validate structure + frontmatter - package_skill.py — package for distribution - init_copilot_asset.py — Copilot-specific scaffolding - skill-discovery has CI validators for its own repo (ci-check.py, - validate-docs.py, verify-marketplace-urls.py) but no user-facing tools - for validating a discovered or created skill. +### Runtime execution harness for third-party skills -4. TEMPLATE AND SCAFFOLD PATTERNS - skill-master has assets/skill-templates.md with starter SKILL.md templates. - skill-discovery has no templates. Step 7 of the workflow says "offer to - create a minimal new skill" but provides no scaffold to create from. +Not planned. Discovery remains static by default. Behavior checks require +explicit authorization, synthetic fixtures, isolation, and no credentials or +network. The repository maintains offline report-contract fixtures instead of +executing untrusted skills. -5. FOLDER PURPOSE MATRIX - skill-master has a clear table distinguishing: - references/ — documentation for agents to READ - examples/ — sample outputs showing expected format - assets/ — static resources to COPY/USE - scripts/ — executable code to RUN - skill-discovery's repo structure follows this pattern but never teaches it. +### Registry integrations -6. DOCUMENTATION INGESTION WORKFLOW - skill-master has a 4-phase workflow for building skills from external docs - (scaffold, build queue, ingest loop, finalize). skill-discovery has nothing - for this. When discovery finds a skill built from docs, there is no pattern - for evaluating whether the ingestion was done well. +Not planned. Provider APIs and marketplace rankings are volatile and add +external maintenance burden. Use documented, read-only provider interfaces at +query time; keep current contracts in the shipped catalog reference and dated +observations in `docs/hub-marketplace-research.md`. -7. VERSION TRACKING PATTERNS - skill-master distinguishes skill version from product version, shows - release_date field, and provides a standardized README.md links section - format. skill-discovery's freshness check says to "inspect generation - timestamp" but does not address how skills version themselves or how to - tell if a skill tracks an outdated product version. +## Current implementation state -8. PROHIBITION LIST - skill-master has explicit DO NOT rules: - - No large verbatim chunks from vendor docs - - No non-English content - - No secrets/paths/assumptions - - SKILL.md under 500 lines - - No skipped name validation - skill-discovery has "boundaries" but no skill-authoring prohibitions. - Relevant when evaluating whether a candidate skill was well-made. +### Validation and CI -#### What skill-discovery does better (keep these) +- CI validates payload, documentation, links, version consistency, workflows, + evaluation fixtures, and dependencies on push and pull request. +- Scheduled monitoring checks external evidence reachability and expiry. +- Weekly repository health checks cover link integrity, reference integrity, + payload budget, and advisory-baseline drift. +- GitHub Actions are SHA-pinned and Dependabot monitors workflow actions. -1.

The -workflow now records `catalog freshness: unknown` when a source provides no -generation metadata; caps and ranks external shortlists; treats unavailable -canonical payloads as `inspection blocked` rather than recommendable matches; -reports capability risk by permission type; and records client-loader status as -`verified`, `structural only`, or `unavailable`. - -The evaluation also confirmed that marketplace metadata can guide discovery but -cannot substitute for revision-pinned payload inspection. No installation or -candidate execution was added. - -### Offline evaluation fixtures (2026-08-16) ✅ COMPLETE - -The four-search evaluation is now preserved as a small, network-free JSON -fixture. `scripts/validate-evaluation-fixtures.py` checks the report contract's -freshness, revision, loader, privacy, behavior, and result-status fields on every -push, pull request, and release tag.
