Mahipal 3d21b30ec8 ci: keep the contributor wall up to date automatically
The Thanks-to-our-contributors block was hand-maintained and had gone stale:
it listed 8 people where the API reports 13, omitting valorisa (second by
contribution count with 18), Daytona39264, kevglynn, OctoBored and farhan6667.

tools/update-contributors.py regenerates the block between
<!-- contributors:start --> and <!-- contributors:end --> from the GitHub
contributors API, ordered by contribution count, bots excluded, with the
contribution count in each avatar's tooltip. It has a --check mode and
refuses to write an empty wall if the API returns nothing.

.github/workflows/update-contributors.yml runs it on push to main, weekly,
and on demand, committing only when the block actually changes. The weekly
pass exists because the contributors API is cached and can lag a merge by
about a day, so a push-triggered run alone would miss people.

Avatars come from github.com/<login>.png rather than a third-party
contributor-image service. A README image is fetched on every page view, so
an external host would be an uncontrolled dependency in the most-viewed file
in the repository - the same objection raised against the star-history
endpoint swap in #124.

Skill Validation Tools

validate-skill.py

Validate SKILL.md metadata before submitting a PR.

Usage

# Validate a single skill
python tools/validate-skill.py skills/my-new-skill/

# Validate all skills
python tools/validate-skill.py --all

What it checks

  • SKILL.md exists in the skill directory
  • Valid YAML frontmatter (between --- markers)
  • Required fields present: name, description, domain, subdomain, tags, version, author, license
  • Name is kebab-case, 164 characters
  • Description is at least 50 characters (agentskills.io caps it at 1024; tools/validate-agentskills.py enforces that)
  • Domain is cybersecurity
  • Subdomain is from the allowed list
  • Tags is a list with at least 2 items

Requirements

Python 3.8+ and PyYAML (pip install pyyaml).

All frontmatter is parsed by skill_frontmatter.py, the single PyYAML-backed loader. It replaced three hand-rolled regex parsers that silently truncated multi-line descriptions to their first line — that bug shipped 604 of 817 descriptions broken in index.json. Do not reintroduce regex frontmatter parsing; CI fails the build if it detects any.
