## Validation Script Output

### Audit Results (April 16, 2026)
```bash
node scripts/validate-agents.js
```

**Date Run**: April 16, 2026 at 23:45 UTC  
**Exit Code**: 0 (Success)  
**Total Results**:
- ✓ Errors: 0
- ⚠ Warnings: 23 (description length)
- ℹ Info: 25 (provenance metadata)

**Key Findings**:
- All 25 skills pass structural validation
- All 25 skills have proper name/folder alignment
- 23 skills have descriptions exceeding 200-char spec recommendation
- All 25 skills will need `gh.repository` metadata (auto-added by `gh skill install`)

---

## Phase 1 Remediation Plan

### High Priority (COMPLETE ✓)
- [x] Verify all skill names match folder names → **PASS: 25/25**
- [x] Validate description field exists → **PASS: 25/25**
- [x] Ensure skills have proper YAML frontmatter → **PASS: 25/25**

### Medium Priority (IN PROGRESS)
- [ ] Trim descriptions to <200 chars (23 skills affected)
  - Highest offenders: github-analytics-scoring (473c), github-scanning (384c), help-url-reference (369c)
  - Lowest: design-system (309c), markdown-accessibility (309c)
  
### Low Priority (READY FOR PHASE 2)
- [ ] Add `gh:` provenance metadata template
- [ ] Document skill versioning strategy
- [ ] Create skill release notes template
- [ ] Add license field to all skills
- [ ] Verify WCAG criterion mappings

---

## Notes & Findings

### ✓ Structural Validation Complete
All 25 skills pass baseline structure validation:
- All skills have proper YAML frontmatter
- All skills have `name:` matching folder structure
- All skills have non-empty `description:` field
- 0 structural errors detected

### ⚠ Description Length Issues (Medium Priority)
23 out of 25 skills exceed the agentskills.io spec recommendation of <200 characters:

**Most critical (>300 chars)**:
1. github-analytics-scoring: 473 chars
2. github-scanning: 384 chars
3. help-url-reference: 369 chars
4. github-workflow-standards: 379 chars
5. accessibility-rules: 290 chars

**Remediation approach**: Condense descriptions to key functionality in <200 chars

### ℹ Provenance Metadata (Info Only - Will Be Auto-Added)
All 25 skills lack `gh:` provenance fields. This is expected and will be auto-populated when `gh skill install` runs. No action needed at this stage.

### Platform Compatibility Notes
- All skills compatible with Copilot and Claude Code platforms
- No platform-specific issues detected
- Ready for multi-platform distribution
