EvandroandClaude Opus 5.5 f77b0b440d chore(qa): replace the keyword-count harness with a structural lint and gate tests
The old harness scored occurrences of words like VERIFICAR, so its score
measured wording, and it failed on a fresh clone. The lint checks frontmatter,
size limits, references and links; test_gate.py exercises the gate and hooks
on a throwaway repo; check_upstream.py flags vendored skills behind upstream.

Open an issue to discuss first, then send a small, focused PR.

Rules

  1. Grounded. Every command, path and claim in a skill or README traces to a real fact. No invented commands or badges.
  2. Short skills. SKILL.md stays under 150 lines; details go to references/ next to it.
  3. Proportional. Each phase says from which tier it runs. Nothing is mandatory for every request unless it is cheap (the tier 0 gate).
  4. Checks are tools, not keyword counts. A verification step runs something that can fail (tests, scanners, the gate). grep -c of a word proves nothing.
  5. No AI-isms in docs and skills (no em-dash runs, no "robust/seamless/leverage").
  6. Vendored skills are copied 1:1 with their license, and recorded in skills/NOTICE.md (origin, commit, license).

Local checks before a PR

python3 qa/lint_skills.py
python3 qa/test_gate.py
claude plugin validate --strict .claude-plugin/plugin.json

A new skill referenced by a workflow goes into its metadata.dev-workflows.uses (vendored) or external (listed in docs/SKILLS.md); the lint checks both.

Process

  1. Fork and branch: git checkout -b feat/your-change.
  2. Make the change and run the checks above.
  3. Open a PR saying what changed and why.
