Validates the .claude/manifest.json file for structure, required fields, and dependency references.
Use this skill after modifying the manifest:
depends_on_skills, depends_on_agents)Run the validation script:
uv run .claude/scripts/validate_manifest.py
Exit codes:
0 - Manifest is valid1 - Validation errors found (printed to stderr)| Check | Description |
|---|---|
| JSON syntax | File must be valid JSON |
| Required fields | Each entry type has required fields (see below) |
| Categories | Skill categories must exist in categories object |
| Dependencies | All referenced skills/agents must exist |
| Uniqueness | Names must be unique within each type |
