# Sample Skill
A fixture skill used by test_validate_skill.py. It uses every frontmatter
feature the vendored YAML parser must support, and satisfies every
structural check in validate_skill.py, so the full validator must report
zero errors for it.
## Process
1. Run the validator against this directory.
2. Assert that the error list is empty.
3. Assert that typed values survived parsing (booleans stay booleans).
| Step | Check | Expected |
|------|-------|----------|
| 1 | frontmatter parse | no error |
| 2 | user-invocable | bool True |
| 3 | allowed-tools | list of 3 tools |
## Verification
- [ ] validate_skill.py reports zero errors
- [ ] quick_validate.py reports the skill as valid
- [ ] user-invocable parsed as a boolean
## Anti-Patterns
- Do not pin a dated model ID in frontmatter.
- Do not duplicate reference content in collapsible details blocks.
## Extension Points
- Add hooks frontmatter once the vendored parser grows hook fixtures.
- Add a scripts/ directory to exercise script lint checks.
