Aria Skill Test

Regression harness for the aria-skills repo. Runs every shipped skill in dry-run mode + asserts clean output (no traceback, no credential leaks, valid SKILL.md frontmatter, README.md present). Text report by default; --junit-xml flag for CI integration. Use when the user says "test the skills", "regression check", "before push", "run the test harness", or any time before opening a PR or pushing to main.

aria-skill-test

Regression harness. Pythonic + zero-dependency. Tests structural correctness across every skill in the repo without making any real API calls.

When to use

Before pushing changes to the public repo
In CI on every PR (use --junit-xml flag)
After running aria-skill-template to confirm the generated stub passes
After editing any skill script — quick sanity check

What gets checked

Per skill directory:

SKILL.md frontmatter parses (YAML between --- markers)
name field in frontmatter matches directory name
description field is 40-600 chars
README.md exists
Executable script found (snake_case or kebab-case .py / .sh)
Dry-run exits 0 (clean) or 2 (needs creds with clear FATAL message)
No Python traceback in stderr
No credential leak patterns in output (Anthropic / Stripe / Resend / Twilio / Cloudflare / EL / AWS / GitHub PAT)
