# Workspace Validation & Schema Verification

This skill manages structural validation operations: verifying JSON/YAML syntax, checking workspace dependency graphs, auditing catalog consistency, and enforcing workflow directory formats.

## When to Use
Use this skill when performing schema compliance checks, finding malformed skill/workflow structures, validating package dependencies, or checking JSON formatting issues.

## Prerequisites
- Conda environment setup.

## Process

Follow these procedures to validate workspace configuration files and schemas.

### Checking JSON Syntax
Scan the workspace for syntax errors:
```bash
conda run -p D:\Anaconda\envs\cursor-factory python scripts/validation/validate_json_syntax.py
```

### Auditing Workflow Structures
Verify that all workspace workflow files match the official workflow schemas:
```bash
conda run -p D:\Anaconda\envs\cursor-factory python scripts/validation/verify_workflow_org.py
```

## Best Practices
- **Strict Linting**: Treat schema check warnings as blocker errors.
- **Auto-Fixing**: Use `fix_all_schemas.py` only after checking file diffs.
