Security & Testing

Provides an intentionally malformed YAML frontmatter fixture for validating syntax error handling and resilience in skill package parsers.

Bad YAML Test Fixture is an intentional test artifact from the skillpm project designed to simulate syntax errors in SKILL.md frontmatter. Featuring an unclosed bracket in its metadata declaration, this fixture allows tool authors, package managers, and automated CI pipelines to test error detection, graceful failure handling, and diagnostic reporting when parsing invalid Claude Code skill definitions.
