Research direction

Open agent-compatibility/skills/check-agent-compatibility/SKILL.md and inspect the YAML frontmatter on line 2. Quote the description value as shown in the issue, then rerun the provided npx -y skills add https://github.com/cursor/plugins --agent claude-code -y command and confirm the skill is no longer skipped for a YAML parse error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

agent-compatibility/skills/check-agent-compatibility/SKILL.md has invalid YAML frontmatter, so the skills CLI skips it.

Line 2:

description: Run the full repository compatibility pass: scanner score, startup path, validation loop, and docs reliability.

The colon after pass is unquoted. A YAML parser reads it as a nested mapping.

Repro: npx -y skills add https://github.com/cursor/plugins --agent claude-code -y

Actual:

Skipped .../agent-compatibility/skills/check-agent-compatibility/SKILL.md: YAML parse error: Nested mappings are not allowed in compact mappings at line 2, column 14

Fix: quote the value.

description: "Run the full repository compatibility pass: scanner score, startup path, validation loop, and docs reliability."
