SKILL.md frontmatter uses flow sequences which fail `agentskills validate`
Problem
The SKILL.md frontmatter in this repo uses YAML flow sequences (JSON-style inline arrays):
--- name: gws-calendar version: 1.0.0 description: "Google Calendar: Manage calendars and events." metadata: openclaw: category: "productivity" requires: bins: ["gws"] cliHelp: "gws calendar --help" ---
The Agent Skills reference implementation (skills-ref) uses strictyaml to parse frontmatter, which intentionally rejects flow sequences. This means agentskills validate fails on all gws-cli skills:
$ uvx --from skills-ref agentskills validate skills/gws-calendar/
Validation failed for skills/gws-calendar:
- Invalid YAML in frontmatter: While scanning
in "<unicode string>", line 9, column 13:
bins: ["gws"]
^ (line: 9)
Found ugly disallowed JSONesque flow mapping (surround with ' and ' to make text appear literally)
in "<unicode string>", line 9, column 14:
bins: ["gws"]
^ (line: 9)
This affects all 92 skills since they all contain bins: ["gws"].
Reproducer
import strictyaml strictyaml.load('bins: ["gws"]') # strictyaml.exceptions.YAMLValidationError
vs. the block-style equivalent which works fine:
strictyaml.load('bins:\n - gws') # OK
Suggested fix
Replace flow sequences with block-style sequences in the frontmatter:
requires: - bins: ["gws"] + bins: + - gws
This is valid YAML either way, but the block style is compatible with strictyaml.
