Validate Project Context AGENTS
Purpose
Validate project-context AGENTS.md files with structured checks for required sections, session-state controls, role definitions, and core required-section completeness based on a deterministic scoring rubric.
When To Use
- Use this skill to validate project-context
AGENTS.mdfiles. - Use this skill when reviewing project context quality prior to active use.
- Do not use this skill for user-context instruction validation.
How to Invoke
Load or attach this file's contents into your AI session to activate the workflow (paste, upload, or reference with #file:skills/validate-project-instructions/SKILL.md in VS Code Copilot Chat). In Claude Projects, add it to project knowledge. See Invoking Skills in the README for full platform guidance.
Required Inputs
- Target project-context
AGENTS.mdpath. - Expected section model and command reference expectations.
- Any strictness preferences for warnings vs required fixes.
Workflow
- Run validation phases from
references/phase-checks.md. - Check for
<!-- spec_version: ... -->comment: flag as WARNING if absent (pre-existing files may predate this requirement); flag as WARNING if present but older than1.4.3. - Generate report using
references/report-contract.md. - Apply deterministic scoring from
references/scoring.md. - Classify findings into critical/warning/enhancement buckets.
- Produce project-specific remediation guidance.
Output Expectations
- Structured markdown report with five validation phases.
- Clear status for critical issues vs warnings.
- Numeric score and grading band.
- Concrete example fixes for major gaps.
- Report schema follows
references/report-contract.md. - Scoring and grade bands follow
references/scoring.md.
Resources
- Phase checks:
references/phase-checks.md - Report contract:
references/report-contract.md - Scoring model:
references/scoring.md - Example target:
../../AGENTS.md
Constraints And Safety
- Keep findings specific and actionable.
- Preserve project terminology when proposing fixes.
- Keep validation language provider-neutral.
- Do not rewrite source files automatically.

Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Length counted with cl100k_base; the agent that loads this file may tokenize it differently.
