Is git integration required to use this skill?

While not strictly required for basic validation, several advisories—such as commit prefix matching—require a git repository to provide full insights.

Will this skill modify my configuration files automatically?

No, this skill is read-only by default. It will only apply fixes if you explicitly request it to resolve a specific issue found during validation.

How does it determine the correct timeout setting?

The skill counts the files in your project (excluding ignored directories like node_modules) and suggests a timeout duration between 600s and 1200s based on the project's scale.

What does maximus-validate check in my project?

It runs the official 'maximus validate' CLI command and performs heuristic checks on project size, file context, git history, and task completion status.

Developer Tools

Validates Maximus Loop project configurations using deterministic CLI checks and intelligent, project-aware advisories.

Maximus Validate is a specialized skill designed to ensure Maximus Loop projects are correctly configured before execution. It bridges the gap between simple schema validation and intelligent project analysis by running official CLI checks while simultaneously auditing project size, git history, and plan health. By analyzing factors like file count versus timeout settings and git commit prefixes, it provides actionable insights that prevent runtime failures and optimize the performance of the Maximus engine.
