41 SKILL.md files across vertical and agent plugins ship with the
description as a plain markdown line below the heading instead of
proper YAML frontmatter between `---` delimiters:
# Thesis Tracker
description: Maintain and update investment theses ...
## Workflow
`claude plugin validate` warns:
⚠ frontmatter: No frontmatter block found. Add YAML frontmatter
between --- delimiters at the top of the file to set description
and other metadata.
Consequences:
- Skill name and description are not extracted by the plugin loader
- Skill cannot be auto-triggered by Claude from natural-language
queries (no description to match against user intent)
- Skill must be invoked by exact slash command or skill name, which
breaks the discoverability story for analysts who don't memorize
every skill identifier
Affected plugins:
- vertical-plugins: equity-research (7), private-equity (10),
wealth-management (6), investment-banking (6)
- agent-plugins: earnings-reviewer (3), market-researcher (2),
meeting-prep-agent (3), pitch-agent (1), valuation-reviewer (3)
Transformation:
- Skill name derived from the parent directory name (kebab-case)
- Description copied verbatim from the existing `description:` line
- Title and body content preserved unchanged
After fix:
- `claude plugin validate` → all four vertical and five agent plugins
pass without warnings
- Skills are now auto-triggerable on natural-language queries that
match their description's trigger phrases
