At a glance

Run the Millennium Dawn validation tools and summarize errors by category as file:line.

  • Works in 5 steps: Build the command flags from the arguments → Run from the project root → Present results grouped by validator… → …
  • Explicitly asks to validate
  • Calls python3

What it does

Validate is an agent skill from MillenniumDawn/Millennium-Dawn. Run the Millennium Dawn validation tools and summarize errors by category as file:line. Use only when the user explicitly asks to validate, e.g. "/validate", "run the validators". Args: "staged" and/or "strict".

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Millennium Dawn and it's codebase. The licence is CC-BY-SA-4.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly asks to validate

Example prompts

  • “/validate”
  • “run the validators”
  • “staged”
  • “/validate”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Build the command flags from the arguments
  2. Run from the project root
  3. Present results grouped by validator category (variables/flags, scripted localisation, decisions, events, etc.)
  4. For each category with errors, show each error as: file:line — description
  5. End with a summary line: total error count, or "All validators passed" if clean

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c0b396c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Validate loads about 252 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 93 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~252

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.

  2. Run from the project root:
    python3 tools/validation/run_all_validators.py <flags>
  3. Present results grouped by validator category (variables/flags, scripted localisation, decisions, events, etc.)
  4. For each category with errors, show each error as: file:line — description
  5. End with a summary line: total error count, or "All validators passed" if clean
