Asset Validation
Validate Windsurf-native AI assets before considering the package complete.
Scope
Validate:
- Root or scoped
AGENTS.md
.windsurf/skills/*/SKILL.md- Companion markdown resources for skills
- shared template resources under
.windsurf/skills/ai-skills/templates/*
- shared checklists under
.windsurf/skills/ai-skills/checklists/*
- explicit support scripts used by the Windsurf package, including
.windsurf/hooks/scripts/*
Do not use this skill for application linting, unit tests, or runtime deployment checks.
Validation Layers
1. Structure
Confirm:
- The asset is stored in the correct directory
SKILL.md lives under .windsurf/skills/<skill-name>/- Companion resources are colocated with their skill or stored in a documented shared resource folder
- The package does not introduce unsupported runtime assumptions
2. Content Rules
Confirm:
- English only
- No secrets or credentials
- No broken references
- No Claude-only runtime instructions
- Instructions are concrete and scoped
3. Frontmatter
For SKILL.md:
name presentdescription present and specific- Any optional fields are valid and necessary
For AGENTS.md, templates, and checklists:
- No YAML frontmatter unless there is a clear reason
4. Dependency Integrity
Check:
- References to
AGENTS.md
- References to
.windsurf/skills/<name>/
- References to shared templates and checklists under
.windsurf/skills/ai-skills/
- References to local scripts
Flag missing targets and orphaned assets that no workflow will discover.
5. Token Discipline
Check:
SKILL.md files are concise enough for progressive disclosureAGENTS.md files do not bury critical policy in long prose- Reference material is moved out of hot-path assets when appropriate
Report Format
Return:
- Summary
- Passed checks
- Findings
- Required follow-up
Use validation-checklist.md for the detailed checklist and script patterns.
