Validate User Context Instructions

Purpose

Validate user-context instruction files and produce deterministic reports with issues, recommendations, and a compliance score.

When To Use

• Use this skill to validate *_usercontext.instructions.md files.
• Use this skill before publishing or reusing a user-context file.
• Do not use this skill for project AGENTS.md (project context) files.

Required Inputs

• Target file path.
• Expected spec version and required sections.
• Validation strictness expectations (if any).

Workflow

1. Run validation phases from references/phase-checks.md.
2. Generate report using references/report-contract.md.
3. Apply deterministic scoring from references/scoring.md.
4. Classify findings into critical/warning/enhancement buckets.
5. Produce implementation-ready recommendations.

Output Expectations

• A markdown validation report with phase-by-phase findings.
• Overall PASS/WARN/FAIL state and numeric score.
• Actionable fixes for critical and warning issues.
• Migration guidance when relevant.
• Report schema follows references/report-contract.md.
• Scoring and grade bands follow references/scoring.md.

Resources

• Phase checks: references/phase-checks.md
• Report contract: references/report-contract.md
• Scoring model: references/scoring.md
• Example target: ../../usercontexts/sample_usercontext.instructions.md
• Example report: ../../usercontexts/sample_usercontext.validation.md

Constraints And Safety

• Preserve privacy boundaries in findings and examples.
• Keep recommendations implementation-ready and non-ambiguous.
• Use provider-neutral language.
• Do not modify validated source files automatically.
