fix(skills): strict-YAML-compatible SKILL.md descriptions (Copilot CLI parse) - #134
Merged
Conversation
…ML compat) Six skill descriptions carried a ': ' (colon-space) inside an unquoted YAML plain scalar (e.g. 'stay true over time: mark ...'). Claude Code's lenient parser accepts it, but strict YAML parsers (GitHub Copilot CLI) reject it with 'mapping values are not allowed here' — so claim-verification, proof-synthesis, release-artifact-pipeline, release-planning, traceability-audit, and repo-hygiene failed to load there. Replace the offending ': ' with ' — ' (keeps the unquoted style of the other skills; no meaning change). Verified: strict yaml.safe_load fails on all six before, all 15 skills parse after. Plugin 0.15.0 -> 0.15.1. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
