What it does
Frontmatter Audit is an agent skill from ArmDeveloperEcosystem/arm-learning-paths. Audit YAML front matter and metadata for Arm Learning Paths and install guides. Use when checking required fields, fixed layout fields, duplicate weights, draft visibility metadata, closed-list metadata values, description presence or quality, YAML validity, and front matter consistency.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Education, covering Curriculum and course design and Markdown. The repository describes itself as: Arm Learning Paths: a repository of how-to content for software developers.
When your agent uses it
- Checking required fields
- Fixed layout fields
- Duplicate weights
- Draft visibility metadata
Example prompts
- “/frontmatter-audit”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify whether the target is a Learning Path, single-page install guide, multi-page install guide, or mixed content directory.
- Read the front matter and enough body context to understand the page task, platform, and outcome.
- Check YAML validity and preserve front matter order when editing.
- Check required and fixed fields for the content type.
- Check metadata consistency across files in a content unit, including duplicate or missing weight values.
- Check whether description is present and fit for purpose. If it is missing or weak, either report it or use…
- After completing all checks, report findings by severity with file and line references when available.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3fb6797. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Frontmatter Audit loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 543 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 543 words (~1,113 tokens).
“Use this skill to audit front matter and metadata without rewriting body content. It can report issues or make metadata-only edits when requested.”
