Stacked on #934 — that PR (also fixing #859) adds the structured SkillDiagnostic collection (SkillsManager.diagnostics / recordDiagnostic() / getSkillDiagnostics()) and the settings-page diagnostics panel. This PR keeps only the remaining gaps on top of it, so the diff stays minimal if #934 merges first and gets squashed.
Misleading error still hides the common cause.fix(skills): safely serialize skill frontmatter #934's recordDiagnostic() reports the YAML exception, but the single most common trigger — unescaped double quotes in the description — still requires the user to read the raw YAML error and open the file. A targeted hint points at the exact line and the fix.
Diagnostics can disappear on re-scan (gray-matter cache poisoning). gray-matter keeps a global content-keyed cache that it populates before parsing. A frontmatter that throws on first parse is cached with an empty data object, and every later parse of the same content silently returns that empty object instead of re-throwing — so a re-scan (watcher event, manual refresh) resurfaces the misleading "missing required 'name' field" symptom and drops the diagnostic.
Overlapping discovery scans can interleave. File-watcher events start concurrent discoverSkills() runs; an older scan finishing after a newer one can append a stale diagnostic for an already-repaired skill.
Frontmatter serialization reflows on every mode change.updateSkillModes() rewrites the file with js-yaml's default lineWidth: 80, reflowing long plain descriptions into folded block scalars (>-1) on every mode toggle — noisy diffs and format churn. createSkill() had the same exposure.
Settings crashes when skillDiagnostics is absent.fix(skills): safely serialize skill frontmatter #934 made the field optional on ExtensionState, but SkillsSettings read it without a fallback — any render without it (and 14 webview tests in the unit-test CI job) crashed with Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length').
Missing translations.fix(skills): safely serialize skill frontmatter #934's new settings:skills.diagnostics.* i18n keys were only added to en, which fails the check-translations CI job (all 17 non-English locales).
Test coverage. The new handleUpdateSkillModes postMessage path, the malformed-load branches, updateSkillModes' serialization, and the extension-host → watcher → webview diagnostics flow had no tests.
loadSkillMetadata() now parses with explicit empty options (matter(fileContent, {})), bypassing gray-matter's global content cache so a malformed skill reports the same parse error on every scan instead of the first throw being cached as an empty data object.
When the parse throws, a small module helper (getFrontmatterLine()) extracts the raw top-level description: line with its file line number; the "unescaped double quotes" console.error hint is only emitted when the parser error's mark is located on that exact line — so a valid quoted description plus an unrelated YAML error elsewhere does not produce a misleading hint.
discoverSkills() is a non-async serializer chaining each run onto a discoveryChain promise; the body moved to performDiscovery(). Overlapping watcher-triggered scans no longer interleave, so an older scan can no longer append a stale diagnostic after a newer scan has observed the repaired file.
Both createSkill() and updateSkillModes() now pass lineWidth: -1 (via a small typed alias, since gray-matter's bundled typings predate its js-yaml dump-options passthrough), keeping long plain values on a single line.
Output for plain descriptions stays byte-identical to the previous format; values with YAML special characters (double quotes, booleans like yes) are quoted/escaped automatically and always round-trip.
skillDiagnostics falls back to [] (same pattern as the existing skills handling), so the component no longer crashes when the optional ExtensionState field is absent. Fixes the 14 webview test failures in the unit-test CI job.
Adds settings:skills.diagnostics.title / description to all 17 non-English locales (translated per locale), fixing the check-translations CI failure.
6. Tests
SkillsManager.spec.ts (gray-matter vi.mocked with the real parser as default implementation): a serialization regression test (a delayed older scan cannot append stale diagnostics), a gray-matter cache-poisoning regression test (a re-scan of unchanged malformed content must keep reporting the parse failure), the exact issue [Bug] SKILL.md YAML parsing fails silently when description contains unescaped double quotes #859 content (hint + diagnostic logged, misleading "missing required 'name' field" absent), a no-false-hint case with a valid quoted description and an error on another line, a non-Error parse failure exercising recordDiagnostic's defensive fallbacks, unterminated frontmatter with a dangling quote (diagnostic recorded, hint absent), create-path round-trip cases, and an updateSkillModes serialization round-trip case.
skillsMessageHandler.spec.ts: new handleUpdateSkillModes suite (success, empty-slug clearing, omitted newSkillModeSlugs → undefined with a non-empty diagnostics list forwarded, missing fields, manager unavailable, rejected promise).
ExtensionStateContext.spec.tsx: the skills-message test now asserts the transition that clears stored skills/diagnostics, including a message that omits skills entirely.
api-get-skills-state.spec.ts: unit coverage for the new test-only getSkillsState() accessor (skills + diagnostics returned; empty arrays when the manager is unavailable).
apps/vscode-e2e/src/suite/skills-diagnostics.test.ts (new): a real extension-host smoke test of the diagnostics flow — writes a healthy and a malformed (double-quoted description with unescaped inner quotes, the exact [Bug] SKILL.md YAML parsing fails silently when description contains unescaped double quotes #859 failure mode) SKILL.md into the workspace's .roo/skills on real disk via atomic sidecar+rename writes so the watcher only observes complete files, waits for the extension host's file watcher to re-discover, asserts the malformed skill is omitted with a diagnostic pointing at it while the healthy skill is unaffected, then repairs the frontmatter and asserts the watcher clears the diagnostic and loads the fixed skill. Teardown removes only the skill directories this suite created.
Merge #934 first, then this PR (no rebase needed: this branch already sits on #934's head plus upstream/main).
Updated this round (main refresh): merged upstream main (58341d882). The only conflict was the frontmatter-parse block in SkillsManager.ts - this branch's parse-error handling (which already drops the unused content: body binding main removed) kept; everything else auto-merged.
Verification at this merge: SkillsManager + skillsMessageHandler + api-get-skills-state suites 141 passed; webview SkillsSettings + ExtensionStateContext 46 passed; ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean on every touched file (src and webview) with main's re-enabled unused-variable lint; tsc --noEmit clean (src + webview); Prettier clean on touched files and on the PR merge commit.
Skill-loading diagnostics now include error details and, when available, line and column locations.
Settings identifies affected skill files and explains how to correct their YAML frontmatter.
Skill metadata and loading diagnostics are available through the extension API.
Bug Fixes
Valid skills continue to load when other skills contain errors.
Diagnostics stay current after skill scans and skill changes.
YAML-sensitive descriptions and mode values are preserved when saving skills.
Localization
Diagnostic messages are available in supported languages.
Skill discovery now records frontmatter parse diagnostics with available source and location details. The API and skills messages expose diagnostics to the webview, where Skills settings displays localized warnings. Skill creation and mode updates serialize frontmatter with shared YAML options.

Summary
Parse, diagnose, and serialize skill frontmatter src/services/skills/SkillsManager.ts, src/services/skills/__tests__/SkillsManager.spec.ts, packages/types/src/skills.ts, src/shared/skills.ts
Discovery records YAML errors with locations and publishes diagnostics with scan results. Skill creation and mode updates serialize frontmatter with shared options. Tests cover malformed YAML, scan behavior, and frontmatter round-trips.
Define and transport diagnostics packages/types/src/api.ts, packages/types/src/vscode-extension-host.ts, src/extension/api.ts, src/core/webview/skillsMessageHandler.ts, related tests
The API and skills messages expose diagnostics alongside skill metadata. Skills responses include current diagnostics after skill operations. Tests cover fallback responses, diagnostic payloads, and mode updates.
Store and display diagnostics webview-ui/src/context/ExtensionStateContext.tsx, webview-ui/src/context/__tests__/ExtensionStateContext.spec.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/settings/SkillsSettings.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/settings/__tests__/SkillsSettings.spec.tsx, webview-ui/src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json
Webview state stores diagnostics from skills messages. Settings displays localized warnings with diagnostic paths, optional locations, and messages.
Validate discovery and repair apps/vscode-e2e/src/suite/skills-diagnostics.test.ts
The end-to-end test checks that malformed skills produce diagnostics while valid skills remain visible. It then checks that repairing frontmatter clears the diagnostic and loads the skill.

Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — The snapshot includes discovered global and current-project skills from .roo and .agents directories, including mode-specific directories. The new method exposes their metadata and diagnostic paths through the extension export; it is not a new case in the inspected IPC command dispatcher.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — getSkillsState accepts no caller-controlled selector, performs no filesystem operation, and returns metadata rather than skill instructions. It has no caller-specific authorization or source filtering. The observed direct consumer is the end-to-end test suite; the supplied evidence does not establish a less-trusted production consumer.
observed — The API method itself does not mutate state, but its return value is not an immutable snapshot: metadata objects come directly from the manager map, and diagnostics are copied only at the array level. These accessors do not establish an isolation boundary for callers.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — An already-running discovery can publish after disposal because publication has no disposed-state guard. Normal provider cleanup removes the manager reference, limiting continued API reachability. A security-sensitive consumer using a retained manager reference was not established, so this is not retained as an introduced security concern.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — If test-only access or caller isolation is intended as a security guarantee, enforce that boundary explicitly and return detached snapshot objects. Documentation alone does not provide either guarantee; this is a hardening proposal, not a verified vulnerability.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#859] At the reviewed head, loadSkillMetadata() in src/services/skills/SkillsManager.ts parses with matter(fileContent, {}) inside its own try/catch, before name and description validation. A parse failure calls recordDiagnostic() and logs the parser error. It does not reach the misleading "missing required 'name' field" message. The unescaped-double-quote hint is logged only when the parser error mark is on the description line (getFrontmatterLine()). The issue allows either successful loading or a clear error that names the YAML problem. This PR uses the error path. The {} options argument bypasses gray-matter's content cache, so rescans of unchanged malformed content keep reporting the failure. The settings panel renders diagnostics, and skillDiagnostics defaults to []. The author's tests cover the exact #859 content, the no-false-hint case, and the rescan case. I did not run these tests. The main-refresh change only touched the parse block, and the code I read keeps the parse-error handling intact.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes support #859 error reporting, rescan stability, or user visibility. Serialized discovery runs (discoverSkills() chaining onto discoveryQueue) stop an older scan from appending a stale diagnostic. lineWidth: -1 in createSkill() and updateSkillModes() keeps YAML-sensitive values stable on round-trip. This matches the issue's creation-tool context. The getSkillsState() accessor on API and RooCodeAPI supports the e2e diagnostics test. The webview diagnostics panel, state plumbing, and i18n keys present the diagnostics to users. I found no demonstrated unrelated change. The lineWidth change alters output for all updated skills, but the PR states its purpose. This assessment relies on the PR summary and the focused read of SkillsManager.ts.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
No changed path meets the security failure condition. SkillsManager.ts validates skill names before constructing filesystem paths and now uses matter.stringify for YAML serialization, so descriptions and mode slugs are data rather than executable YAML. Parse diagnostics contain only the file path, parser reason, and coordinates. SkillsSettings.tsx renders these values as React text, not HTML. The new message and API paths only forward skill metadata and diagnostics; they do not execute input or bypass approval or allowlist controls.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
No changed lifecycle path leaks a resource or duplicates work after disposal. The PR adds per-scan diagnostic state and changes frontmatter parsing/serialization, but it does not add listeners, watchers, timers, providers, or background tasks. setupFileWatchers(), watcher disposal, and dispose() are unchanged from the base. The existing discovery queue and isDisposed guards remain active for watcher-triggered scans.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
The PR still uses non-atomic persistence for changed skill serialization paths. createSkill() serializes new frontmatter at src/services/skills/SkillsManager.ts:721-733, then calls await fs.writeFile(skillMdPath, ...) at line 735 after creating the directory. A write error or process interruption can leave a partial SKILL.md and the new directory. updateSkillModes() changes the serialized frontmatter at lines 1051-1065, then directly overwrites the existing file with await fs.writeFile(skill.path, ...) at line 1066. If truncation or writing fails, the previous valid file can be partially or fully lost. No temporary-file promotion, rollback, or partial-failure handling protects either path.
Resolution
Write each serialized file to a temporary file in the same directory, await the complete write, and atomically rename it over the target. For createSkill(), remove the temporary file and newly created directory if persistence fails. For updateSkillModes(), retain the original until rename succeeds, remove the temporary file on failure, and report the error without publishing refreshed state.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
The pull request still adds a durable visible error state in webview-ui/src/components/settings/SkillsSettings.tsx: a warning alert with translated text, diagnostic paths, locations, messages, and theme-dependent styling. webview-ui/AGENTS.md requires a Playwright *.visual.tsx snapshot for user-visible error states. The changed-file inventory contains no visual test or screenshot baseline, and repository inspection found no existing SkillsSettings visual coverage. The Vitest tests cover DOM text and conditional rendering, but they do not provide the required component snapshot.
Resolution
Add a focused Playwright gallery story and SkillsSettings visual test for the diagnostic alert. Use deterministic SkillDiagnostic data, apply the supported VS Code theme fixture, generate the baseline with the repository-authoritative visual environment, and commit the snapshot.

….md safely
SKILL.md files whose description contains unescaped double quotes failed to parse silently: gray-matter's YAMLException was swallowed by the outer catch and users only saw a misleading "missing required 'name' field" log (issue Zoo-Code-Org#859).
- Catch gray-matter parse errors separately in loadSkillMetadata and log the actual YAML syntax error, with a hint pointing at unescaped double quotes in the description line
- Build createSkill frontmatter as data and serialize via matter.stringify so special characters (double quotes, YAML booleans such as "yes", etc.) are quoted automatically and created skills always load
- Pass lineWidth: -1 to the dump options (with a typed alias for gray-matter's outdated options typings) to keep long plain scalars on one line and prevent updateSkillModes rewrites from reflowing values into folded block scalars
- Add regression tests covering both the load path (invalid YAML is skipped with the real cause logged, no misleading field error) and the create path (quoted frontmatter round-trips and loads on re-discovery)
- Add settings:skills.diagnostics.title/description to all 17 non-English
locales; the diagnostics panel keys from Zoo-Code-Org#934 were only in en, which
failed the check-translations CI job (scripts/find-missing-translations.js).
- Add an updateSkillModes unit test (modeSlugs written, then cleared;
description survives the gray-matter round-trip un-reflowed), closing the
last patch-coverage gap on the SKILL.md serialization lines.
Zoo-Code-Org#934 added skillDiagnostics to ExtensionState as an optional field but
SkillsSettings read it without a fallback, so every SettingsView render
where the field is absent crashed with "Cannot read properties of
undefined (reading 'length')". This broke 14 webview tests in the
platform-unit-test CI job (SettingsView.change-detection and
SettingsView.unsaved-changes).
Mirror the existing skills handling: fall back to [] via useMemo.
…ndary
Add apps/vscode-e2e/src/suite/skills-diagnostics.test.ts covering the
real extension host -> SkillsManager -> file watcher flow that lower
layers cannot reach:
- Writes a healthy and a malformed (issue Zoo-Code-Org#859 content) SKILL.md into
the workspace's .roo/skills directory on real disk.
- Waits for the extension host's file watcher to re-discover and asserts
the malformed skill is omitted from getSkillsState().skills while a
diagnostic points at it, and the healthy skill is unaffected.
- Repairs the frontmatter in place and asserts the watcher clears the
diagnostic and loads the fixed skill.
Supports this with a test-only getSkillsState() on the exported
extension API (mirroring the existing getTaskHistoryItem pattern),
backed by ClineProvider.getSkillsManager().
Verified locally: bundle + webview build + USE_MOCK=true test:run with
TEST_FILE=skills-diagnostics.test.js -> 1 passing.
Unit coverage for the new extension API method used by the skill
diagnostics e2e smoke test: returns the skills manager's metadata and
diagnostics, and empty arrays when the manager is unavailable.
Closes the codecov/patch/webview-patch gap (4 not-fully-covered lines):
- ExtensionStateContext.spec.tsx: dispatch real "skills" messages through
the provider and assert skills/skillDiagnostics update, including the
empty-array default when the message omits skillDiagnostics.
- SkillsSettings.spec.tsx: render without skillDiagnostics in state
(the exact shape that used to crash) and render diagnostics with and
without line/column locations so every branch of the location
formatting is exercised.
Local: both specs 45/45 passing; lcov confirms all patch lines and
branches in both files are taken.
This test covers [] only. Add a case that omits newSkillModeSlugs, then assert that handleUpdateSkillModes() passes undefined to updateSkillModes() and posts the refreshed state. As per coding guidelines, include false or unset cases when defaults could hide omissions.

…se frontmatter deterministically
Addresses the CodeRabbit review findings and completes the patch coverage:
- Serialize discoverSkills() runs through a promise chain so overlapping
watcher-triggered scans never interleave; an older scan can no longer
append a stale diagnostic after a newer scan has observed the repaired
file.
- Only emit the unescaped-double-quotes hint when the parser error is
located on the description line itself, so a valid quoted description
plus an unrelated YAML error elsewhere no longer produces a misleading
hint.
- Parse SKILL.md frontmatter with explicit empty options so gray-matter's
global content-keyed cache is bypassed. The cache is populated before
parsing, so a frontmatter that throws on first parse is cached with an
empty data object and every later parse of the same content silently
returns that object instead of re-throwing - which resurfaces the
misleading "missing required 'name' field" symptom from issue Zoo-Code-Org#859.
Tests:
- SkillsManager.spec: regression test that a delayed older scan cannot
append stale diagnostics (serialization), a regression test that a
re-scan of unchanged malformed content keeps reporting the parse
failure (gray-matter cache poisoning), a no-false-hint case with a
valid quoted description and an error on another line, and a non-Error
parse failure exercising recordDiagnostic's defensive fallbacks
(gray-matter is now vi.mocked with the real parser as the default
implementation).
- ExtensionStateContext.spec: the skills message test now asserts the
transition that clears stored skills/diagnostics, including a message
that omits skills entirely.
- skills-diagnostics e2e: the malformed fixture is now a double-quoted
description with unescaped inner quotes (the exact Zoo-Code-Org#859 failure mode),
skill files are written atomically (sidecar + rename) so the watcher
only observes complete files, and teardown removes only the skill
directories the suite created.
- api-get-skills-state.spec: document why the partial test doubles need
as-unknown-as casts.
- skillsMessageHandler.spec: cover the omitted newSkillModeSlugs case
(passes undefined, still refreshes the posted state).
e2e teardown: only removes the skill directories this suite created; pre-existing fixtures under .roo/skills are left intact.
api-get-skills-state.spec: the partial doubles need a documented double-assertion; added a beforeEach comment explaining why it is a last resort.
serialize overlapping discovery runs (major): discoverSkills() is now a non-async serializer chaining each run onto a discoveryChain promise; a delayed older scan can no longer append a stale diagnostic after a newer scan observed the repaired file (regression test added).
quote hint scoped to the failing line: the "unescaped double quotes" hint is only emitted when the parser error mark is on the description line itself (regression test with a valid quoted description plus an error on another line).
state transition that clears diagnostics: the skills message test now asserts stored skills/diagnostics are cleared, including a message that omits skills entirely.
nitpick (typed message fixture / non-empty diagnostics assertion): the omitted-newSkillModeSlugs test declares a WebviewMessage instead of an as cast, and asserts a concrete non-empty diagnostic list is forwarded.
Additional root-cause fix found while making the e2e deterministic: gray-matter keeps a global content-keyed cache that it populates before parsing, so a frontmatter that throws on first parse was cached with an empty data object and every later parse of the same content silently returned that object instead of re-throwing (resurfacing the misleading "missing required name field" symptom). loadSkillMetadata() now parses with explicit empty options to bypass the cache, with a unit-level regression test that a re-scan of unchanged malformed content keeps reporting the parse failure.

performDiscovery() cleared the live collections and filled them incrementally, so a
reader (requestSkills -> getSkillsMetadata/getSkillDiagnostics) that runs between
the awaits of a scan could observe a half-built snapshot. The scan now builds local
collections and commits them only after it completes.
Regression test parks one skill's read mid-scan and reads the snapshot while the
scan is in flight: it fails against the incremental commit and passes with the
staged commit.
The second half of the finding (posting a skills message from the watcher) is not
taken: the watcher has always updated state only, and the PR does not change that
contract.

main restructured SkillsManager discovery for symlinked containers
(DiscoveryPass, publishSkills, container watchers, failedPaths retention).
The merge keeps main's structure and re-applies this unit's YAML changes on
top: SkillDiagnostic plumbing through the pass (diagnostics staged per pass
and published with the skills), parse-error separation with the
unescaped-quote hint, recordDiagnostic, getSkillDiagnostics, and gray-matter
serialization with lineWidth -1 for addSkill/updateSkill. The two scan
serializations (this branch's discoveryChain vs main's discoveryQueue) had
the same purpose and collapse to main's queue.
api-get-skills-state.spec.ts adapted to main's API constructor, which now
requires a ClineProviderFactory: pass makeClineProviderFactory() like the
sibling specs do.
Local proofs at the merge: SkillsManager 112 passed; api-get-skills-state 2
passed; ExtensionStateContext (webview) 24 passed; tsc --noEmit clean (0
errors, better than the 7-error pre-merge baseline, once @roo-code/types
and @roo-code/telemetry resolve to this tree's sources instead of stale
donor dists); ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean; prettier clean on the touched
files.

The previous assertion (not.toContain('> ')) could not distinguish a folded scalar from a plain one, and the fixture description was shorter than js-yaml's default 80-column fold width, so removing lineWidth: -1 went unnoticed. Use a description over that width and assert the exact single description: line (quoted, since the value contains quotes) in both updateSkillModes and createSkill.
When a skills-message handler already holds the manager and an async operation completes after disposal, getSkillsMetadata() returns an empty collection but getSkillDiagnostics() still returns the published parse errors. Clear the diagnostics snapshot with the other disposed state.

diagnostic.message.length > 0 also accepts the misleading missing-name message. Assert that the message does not contain that text and that the diagnostic points to the malformed description line. The targeted unescaped-quote hint is logged to console.error, so this API assertion cannot validate that hint directly.

Fixes #859
Stacked on #934 — that PR (also fixing #859) adds the structured
SkillDiagnosticcollection (SkillsManager.diagnostics/recordDiagnostic()/getSkillDiagnostics()) and the settings-page diagnostics panel. This PR keeps only the remaining gaps on top of it, so the diff stays minimal if #934 merges first and gets squashed.Problem (remainder after #934)
recordDiagnostic()reports the YAML exception, but the single most common trigger — unescaped double quotes in thedescription— still requires the user to read the raw YAML error and open the file. A targeted hint points at the exact line and the fix.dataobject, and every later parse of the same content silently returns that empty object instead of re-throwing — so a re-scan (watcher event, manual refresh) resurfaces the misleading "missing required 'name' field" symptom and drops the diagnostic.discoverSkills()runs; an older scan finishing after a newer one can append a stale diagnostic for an already-repaired skill.updateSkillModes()rewrites the file with js-yaml's defaultlineWidth: 80, reflowing long plain descriptions into folded block scalars (>-1) on every mode toggle — noisy diffs and format churn.createSkill()had the same exposure.skillDiagnosticsis absent. fix(skills): safely serialize skill frontmatter #934 made the field optional onExtensionState, butSkillsSettingsread it without a fallback — any render without it (and 14 webview tests in the unit-test CI job) crashed withCannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length').settings:skills.diagnostics.*i18n keys were only added toen, which fails thecheck-translationsCI job (all 17 non-English locales).handleUpdateSkillModespostMessage path, the malformed-load branches,updateSkillModes' serialization, and the extension-host → watcher → webview diagnostics flow had no tests.Changes
1. Deterministic frontmatter parsing + unescaped-quote hint (load path) —
src/services/skills/SkillsManager.tsloadSkillMetadata()now parses with explicit empty options (matter(fileContent, {})), bypassing gray-matter's global content cache so a malformed skill reports the same parse error on every scan instead of the first throw being cached as an empty data object.getFrontmatterLine()) extracts the raw top-leveldescription:line with its file line number; the "unescaped double quotes"console.errorhint is only emitted when the parser error's mark is located on that exact line — so a valid quoted description plus an unrelated YAML error elsewhere does not produce a misleading hint.2. Serialized discovery scans —
src/services/skills/SkillsManager.tsdiscoverSkills()is a non-async serializer chaining each run onto adiscoveryChainpromise; the body moved toperformDiscovery(). Overlapping watcher-triggered scans no longer interleave, so an older scan can no longer append a stale diagnostic after a newer scan has observed the repaired file.3. Stable SKILL.md serialization (create/update paths)
createSkill()andupdateSkillModes()now passlineWidth: -1(via a small typed alias, since gray-matter's bundled typings predate its js-yaml dump-options passthrough), keeping long plain values on a single line.yes) are quoted/escaped automatically and always round-trip.4. Settings crash fix —
webview-ui/src/components/settings/SkillsSettings.tsxskillDiagnosticsfalls back to[](same pattern as the existingskillshandling), so the component no longer crashes when the optionalExtensionStatefield is absent. Fixes the 14 webview test failures in the unit-test CI job.5. i18n completion —
webview-ui/src/i18n/locales/*/settings.jsonsettings:skills.diagnostics.title/descriptionto all 17 non-English locales (translated per locale), fixing thecheck-translationsCI failure.6. Tests
SkillsManager.spec.ts(gray-mattervi.mocked with the real parser as default implementation): a serialization regression test (a delayed older scan cannot append stale diagnostics), a gray-matter cache-poisoning regression test (a re-scan of unchanged malformed content must keep reporting the parse failure), the exact issue [Bug] SKILL.md YAML parsing fails silently when description contains unescaped double quotes #859 content (hint + diagnostic logged, misleading "missing required 'name' field" absent), a no-false-hint case with a valid quoted description and an error on another line, a non-Error parse failure exercisingrecordDiagnostic's defensive fallbacks, unterminated frontmatter with a dangling quote (diagnostic recorded, hint absent), create-path round-trip cases, and anupdateSkillModesserialization round-trip case.skillsMessageHandler.spec.ts: newhandleUpdateSkillModessuite (success, empty-slug clearing, omittednewSkillModeSlugs→undefinedwith a non-empty diagnostics list forwarded, missing fields, manager unavailable, rejected promise).ExtensionStateContext.spec.tsx: the skills-message test now asserts the transition that clears stored skills/diagnostics, including a message that omitsskillsentirely.api-get-skills-state.spec.ts: unit coverage for the new test-onlygetSkillsState()accessor (skills + diagnostics returned; empty arrays when the manager is unavailable).apps/vscode-e2e/src/suite/skills-diagnostics.test.ts(new): a real extension-host smoke test of the diagnostics flow — writes a healthy and a malformed (double-quoted description with unescaped inner quotes, the exact [Bug] SKILL.md YAML parsing fails silently when description contains unescaped double quotes #859 failure mode)SKILL.mdinto the workspace's.roo/skillson real disk via atomic sidecar+rename writes so the watcher only observes complete files, waits for the extension host's file watcher to re-discover, asserts the malformed skill is omitted with a diagnostic pointing at it while the healthy skill is unaffected, then repairs the frontmatter and asserts the watcher clears the diagnostic and loads the fixed skill. Teardown removes only the skill directories this suite created.Verification
