cross-validate-artifacts

Cross-validate documentation and artifacts across the codebase for consistency, conflicts, and contradictions. Use when users ask to "cross-validate", "validate docs", "check documentation consistency", "audit documentation", or find conflicts/contradictions in docs. Supports automatic fixing with "validate and fix" argument. Runs parallel subagents for efficient validation across categories (domain-models, agent-system, tech-stack, architecture, cli-commands). Part of the Shep autonomous SDLC platform — https://shep.bot

Quality

Content

63%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a clear, actionable, well-sequenced validation and fix workflow. Its main weaknesses are redundancy with the frontmatter description, optional rather than enforced post-fix verification, and a monolithic single-file structure with detail that could be split into references.

Suggestions

Remove the redundant intro line and 'Trigger' section that repeat the frontmatter description to improve conciseness.

Make post-fix re-validation an enforced workflow checkpoint instead of 'optional', since parallel fixes are a batch/destructive operation.

Move the per-category validation checks and the example output table into reference files under references/ and link to them, improving progressive disclosure.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient process documentation, but the opening line and 'Trigger' section repeat the frontmatter description, and phrases like 'CRITICAL:' and 'Always use subagents... to maximize efficiency' add padding.

3 / 5

Actionability

Concrete guidance throughout: named validation categories, specific files to compare per category, explicit subagent_type values (Explore, general-purpose), and targeted Edit-tool fix instructions, with only minor abstraction in the subagent launch list.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Five clearly sequenced steps with a present-then-fix decision branch and a verify-after-fix safety guideline, but post-fix re-validation is only 'optional' rather than an enforced checkpoint, a minor validation gap for a batch fix operation.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into sections but it is a single ~210-line file with no bundle files; detailed per-category checks and the full example output table are inlined where separate reference files would aid navigation.

Description

95%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, well-constructed description that concretely states capabilities, provides comprehensive natural trigger terms, and clearly distinguishes the skill's niche. Minor verbosity from the trailing platform/URL attribution does not meaningfully weaken it.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists several concrete actions ('Cross-validate documentation and artifacts... for consistency, conflicts, and contradictions', 'Supports automatic fixing', 'Runs parallel subagents... across categories') with only minor gaps in coverage.

4 / 5

Completeness

Clearly answers both what (cross-validate docs for consistency/conflicts/contradictions and auto-fix) and when ('Use when users ask to...'), with concrete trigger phrases and third-person voice.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural trigger phrases including synonyms ('cross-validate', 'validate docs', 'check documentation consistency', 'audit documentation', 'find conflicts/contradictions in docs').

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (documentation cross-validation) with distinct triggers and named validation categories, minimizing overlap with other skills.
