What does the Writer Output Validator skill do?

It checks if specific files generated by subagents exist in a directory and confirms they are not empty before the system proceeds to update documentation indices.

Does it work with any file type?

Yes, while primarily used for Markdown documentation and specs, it can validate the existence and size of any file type accessible via the filesystem.

Why is this skill necessary for AI workflows?

In multi-agent systems, agents may occasionally fail to write a file. This skill acts as a gatekeeper to prevent broken links or 'dead' references in your README or index files.

Can I validate multiple files at once?

Yes, the skill accepts a directory path followed by a space-separated list of multiple filenames for batch validation.

What kind of output does this skill provide?

It provides a JSON object containing an overall pass/fail status and a detailed per-file status indicating if a file is 'ok', 'missing', or 'empty'.

Ensures subagent-generated files are present and contain content before updating project indices to prevent broken links.

Writer Output Validator is a specialized utility designed for multi-agent workflows that require high data integrity. It acts as a gatekeeper between content generation and documentation indexing by verifying that expected files or specifications are successfully written and non-empty. By automating this check, the skill prevents broken link errors in READMEs and ensures that project documentation accurately reflects generated content, streamlining the transition from subagent output to final project structure.
