Directory review: one skill has broken YAML frontmatter (fails plugin validation) #138

Description

@bryan-anthropic

Hello,

As part of our review of the ai-devkit plugin for the Claude plugin directory, we observed one issue that currently blocks inclusion:

  • skills/agent-orchestration/SKILL.md has YAML frontmatter that fails to parse (the parser reports an unexpected token around line 2, column 78 — this is usually an unquoted : inside the description value).
  • Because of this, claude plugin validate fails, and at runtime that skill loads with empty metadata (all frontmatter fields are silently dropped), so it won't be discoverable by name/description.

The fix is small: quote the offending frontmatter value (or otherwise correct the YAML) in that one file, then verify locally with:

claude plugin validate .

The other 22 skills validated cleanly and the rest of the review looked strong. Once the frontmatter is fixed, let us know (or reply here) and we'll re-run the review.

Thanks for building on Claude!
