## What it does

This skill walks through multi-skill workflows defined in CLAUDE.md. It maps each displayed step name to a skill directory, checks handoffs between consecutive steps, and flags file naming violations.

Run `scripts/validate_workflows.py` across all workflows or target one by a name substring. With `--dry-run`, it creates synthetic JSON fixtures in `reports/fixtures/` and checks contracts without real data. JSON and Markdown reports in `reports/` show step results, handoff status, and workflow status.

Python 3.9+ is required; no API key or third-party Python package is needed. The skill reads `SKILL.md` and `CLAUDE.md` without modifying them, so it fits a pull request check for changes to skill scripts.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tradermonty/claude-trading-skills --skill skill-integration-tester -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/skill-integration-tester/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/skill-integration-tester/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tradermonty/claude-trading-skills --skill skill-integration-tester -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/skill-integration-tester/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tradermonty/claude-trading-skills --skill skill-integration-tester -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/skill-integration-tester/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install tradermonty/claude-trading-skills skill-integration-tester
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/skill-integration-tester/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tradermonty/claude-trading-skills --skill skill-integration-tester -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/tradermonty/claude-trading-skills --path skills/skill-integration-tester
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/skill-integration-tester/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tradermonty/claude-trading-skills --skill skill-integration-tester -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/tradermonty/claude-trading-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/skill-integration-tester/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- verify that workflow skills exist
- check JSON schema compatibility between steps
- find broken data handoffs
- detect file naming violations
- test contracts with synthetic fixtures

## Example prompts
- Validate every multi-skill workflow in `CLAUDE.md` and write the report to `reports/`.
- Check the workflow matching `Earnings Momentum` for broken handoffs.
- Run a dry check with synthetic JSON fixtures for each workflow step.

# Skill Integration Tester

## Overview

Validate multi-skill workflows defined in CLAUDE.md (Daily Market Monitoring,
Weekly Strategy Review, Earnings Momentum Trading, etc.) by executing each step
in sequence. Check inter-skill data contracts for JSON schema compatibility
between output of step N and input of step N+1, verify file naming conventions,
and report broken handoffs. Supports dry-run mode with synthetic fixtures.

## When to Use

- After adding or modifying a multi-skill workflow in CLAUDE.md
- After changing a skill's output format (JSON schema, file naming)
- Before releasing new skills to verify pipeline compatibility
- When debugging broken handoffs between consecutive workflow steps
- As a CI pre-check for pull requests touching skill scripts

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.9+
- No API keys required
- No third-party Python packages required (uses only standard library)

## Workflow

### Step 1: Run Integration Validation

Execute the validation script against the project's CLAUDE.md:

```bash
python3 skills/skill-integration-tester/scripts/validate_workflows.py \
  --output-dir reports/
```

This parses all `**Workflow Name:**` blocks from the Multi-Skill Workflows
section, resolves each step's display name to a skill directory, and validates
existence, contracts, and naming.

### Step 2: Validate a Specific Workflow

Target a single workflow by name substring:

```bash
python3 skills/skill-integration-tester/scripts/validate_workflows.py \
  --workflow "Earnings Momentum" \
  --output-dir reports/
```

### Step 3: Dry-Run with Synthetic Fixtures

Create synthetic fixture JSON files for each skill's expected output and
validate contract compatibility without real data:

```bash
python3 skills/skill-integration-tester/scripts/validate_workflows.py \
  --dry-run \
  --output-dir reports/
```

Fixture files are written to `reports/fixtures/` with `_fixture` flag set.

### Step 4: Review Results

Open the generated Markdown report for a human-readable summary, or parse
the JSON report for programmatic consumption. Each workflow shows:
- Step-by-step skill existence checks
- Handoff contract validation (PASS / FAIL / N/A)
- File naming convention violations
- Overall workflow status (valid / broken / warning)

### Step 5: Fix Broken Handoffs

For each `FAIL` handoff, verify that:
1. The producer skill's output contains all required fields
