Run the repo validator with the freshness gate enabled:

```bash
python3 evals/scripts/validate_skill_repo.py --require-fresh-results-sync
```

If validation fails, read the error output carefully and fix each reported issue:

- **Metadata sync errors**: Update the `agents/openai.yaml` file to match the SKILL.md frontmatter for the affected skill.
- **Missing eval fixtures**: Create `evals/fixtures/trigger/<skill-name>.json` for any skill that lacks one.
- **Stale results**: Re-run the relevant eval and update checked-in results.

After fixing, re-run validation to confirm all checks pass.
