Skill Entry Point Present

Each skill file must reference or contain a SKILL.md entry point. The entry point is the standard discovery mechanism that agents use to find and invoke skills.

Antipatterns

• Naming the skill entry point README.md or index.md instead of SKILL.md. The check looks for the specific token SKILL.md in the file content.
• Creating a skill directory with workflow files but no SKILL.md reference. Without the entry point token, the skill is not discoverable.
• Referencing a different filename like skill.md (lowercase). The check matches the exact token SKILL.md.

Limitations

Checks for a named token matching "SKILL.md" in the content. Does not verify the SKILL.md file actually exists at the referenced path.
