Stacked on #934 — that PR (also fixing #859) adds the structured SkillDiagnostic collection (SkillsManager.diagnostics / recordDiagnostic() / getSkillDiagnostics()) and the settings-page diagnostics panel. This PR keeps only the remaining gaps on top of it, so the diff stays minimal if #934 merges first and gets squashed.
Misleading error still hides the common cause.fix(skills): safely serialize skill frontmatter #934's recordDiagnostic() reports the YAML exception, but the single most common trigger — unescaped double quotes in the description — still requires the user to read the raw YAML error and open the file. A targeted hint points at the exact line and the fix.
Diagnostics can disappear on re-scan (gray-matter cache poisoning). gray-matter keeps a global content-keyed cache that it populates before parsing. A frontmatter that throws on first parse is cached with an empty data object, and every later parse of the same content silently returns that empty object instead of re-throwing — so a re-scan (watcher event, manual refresh) resurfaces the misleading "missing required 'name' field" symptom and drops the diagnostic.
Overlapping discovery scans can interleave. File-watcher events start concurrent discoverSkills() runs; an older scan finishing after a newer one can append a stale diagnostic for an already-repaired skill.
Frontmatter serialization reflows on every mode change.updateSkillModes() rewrites the file with js-yaml's default lineWidth: 80, reflowing long plain descriptions into folded block scalars (>-1) on every mode toggle — noisy diffs and format churn. createSkill() had the same exposure.
Settings crashes when skillDiagnostics is absent.fix(skills): safely serialize skill frontmatter #934 made the field optional on ExtensionState, but SkillsSettings read it without a fallback — any render without it (and 14 webview tests in the unit-test CI job) crashed with Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length').
Missing translations.fix(skills): safely serialize skill frontmatter #934's new settings:skills.diagnostics.* i18n keys were only added to en, which fails the check-translations CI job (all 17 non-English locales).
Test coverage. The new handleUpdateSkillModes postMessage path, the malformed-load branches, updateSkillModes' serialization, and the extension-host → watcher → webview diagnostics flow had no tests.
loadSkillMetadata() now parses with explicit empty options (matter(fileContent, {})), bypassing gray-matter's global content cache so a malformed skill reports the same parse error on every scan instead of the first throw being cached as an empty data object.
When the parse throws, a small module helper (getFrontmatterLine()) extracts the raw top-level description: line with its file line number; the "unescaped double quotes" console.error hint is only emitted when the parser error's mark is located on that exact line — so a valid quoted description plus an unrelated YAML error elsewhere does not produce a misleading hint.
discoverSkills() is a non-async serializer chaining each run onto a discoveryChain promise; the body moved to performDiscovery(). Overlapping watcher-triggered scans no longer interleave, so an older scan can no longer append a stale diagnostic after a newer scan has observed the repaired file.
Both createSkill() and updateSkillModes() now pass lineWidth: -1 (via a small typed alias, since gray-matter's bundled typings predate its js-yaml dump-options passthrough), keeping long plain values on a single line.
Output for plain descriptions stays byte-identical to the previous format; values with YAML special characters (double quotes, booleans like yes) are quoted/escaped automatically and always round-trip.
skillDiagnostics falls back to [] (same pattern as the existing skills handling), so the component no longer crashes when the optional ExtensionState field is absent. Fixes the 14 webview test failures in the unit-test CI job.
Adds settings:skills.diagnostics.title / description to all 17 non-English locales (translated per locale), fixing the check-translations CI failure.
6. Tests
SkillsManager.spec.ts (gray-matter vi.mocked with the real parser as default implementation): a serialization regression test (a delayed older scan cannot append stale diagnostics), a gray-matter cache-poisoning regression test (a re-scan of unchanged malformed content must keep reporting the parse failure), the exact issue [Bug] SKILL.md YAML parsing fails silently when description contains unescaped double quotes #859 content (hint + diagnostic logged, misleading "missing required 'name' field" absent), a no-false-hint case with a valid quoted description and an error on another line, a non-Error parse failure exercising recordDiagnostic's defensive fallbacks, unterminated frontmatter with a dangling quote (diagnostic recorded, hint absent), create-path round-trip cases, and an updateSkillModes serialization round-trip case.
skillsMessageHandler.spec.ts: new handleUpdateSkillModes suite (success, empty-slug clearing, omitted newSkillModeSlugs → undefined with a non-empty diagnostics list forwarded, missing fields, manager unavailable, rejected promise).
ExtensionStateContext.spec.tsx: the skills-message test now asserts the transition that clears stored skills/diagnostics, including a message that omits skills entirely.
api-get-skills-state.spec.ts: unit coverage for the new test-only getSkillsState() accessor (skills + diagnostics returned; empty arrays when the manager is unavailable).
apps/vscode-e2e/src/suite/skills-diagnostics.test.ts (new): a real extension-host smoke test of the diagnostics flow — writes a healthy and a malformed (double-quoted description with unescaped inner quotes, the exact [Bug] SKILL.md YAML parsing fails silently when description contains unescaped double quotes #859 failure mode) SKILL.md into the workspace's .roo/skills on real disk via atomic sidecar+rename writes so the watcher only observes complete files, waits for the extension host's file watcher to re-discover, asserts the malformed skill is omitted with a diagnostic pointing at it while the healthy skill is unaffected, then repairs the frontmatter and asserts the watcher clears the diagnostic and loads the fixed skill. Teardown removes only the skill directories this suite created.
Merge #934 first, then this PR (no rebase needed: this branch already sits on #934's head plus upstream/main).
Updated this round (main refresh): merged upstream main (58341d882). The only conflict was the frontmatter-parse block in SkillsManager.ts - this branch's parse-error handling (which already drops the unused content: body binding main removed) kept; everything else auto-merged.
Verification at this merge: SkillsManager + skillsMessageHandler + api-get-skills-state suites 141 passed; webview SkillsSettings + ExtensionStateContext 46 passed; ESLint --max-warnings=0 clean on every touched file (src and webview) with main's re-enabled unused-variable lint; tsc --noEmit clean (src + webview); Prettier clean on touched files and on the PR merge commit.
Skill-loading diagnostics show error details and, when available, line and column locations.
Settings identifies affected skill files and explains how to correct their YAML frontmatter.
Skill metadata and loading diagnostics are available through the extension API.
Bug Fixes
Valid skills continue to load when other skills contain errors.
Diagnostics stay current after skill scans and changes.
YAML-sensitive descriptions and mode values are preserved when saving skills. Failed saves no longer leave partial skill files behind.
Localization
Diagnostic messages are available in supported languages.
Skill discovery reports malformed frontmatter with source and location details. The API and skills messages expose diagnostics to the webview, where Skills settings displays localized warnings. Skill creation and mode updates use shared YAML options and atomic writes.

Summary
Parse, diagnose, and safely persist frontmatter src/services/skills/SkillsManager.ts, src/services/skills/__tests__/SkillsManager.spec.ts, packages/types/src/skills.ts, src/shared/skills.ts
Discovery records YAML errors with locations and publishes diagnostics with completed scan results. Creation and mode updates serialize frontmatter with shared options and atomic writes. Tests cover parsing, scan behavior, cleanup, path checks, and frontmatter round-trips.
Define and transport diagnostics packages/types/src/api.ts, packages/types/src/vscode-extension-host.ts, src/extension/api.ts, src/extension/__tests__/api-get-skills-state.spec.ts, src/core/webview/skillsMessageHandler.ts, src/core/webview/__tests__/skillsMessageHandler.spec.ts
The API and skills messages expose diagnostics alongside skill metadata. Skills responses include current diagnostics after skill operations. Tests cover fallback responses, diagnostic payloads, and mode updates.
Store and display diagnostics webview-ui/src/context/ExtensionStateContext.tsx, webview-ui/src/context/__tests__/ExtensionStateContext.spec.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/settings/SkillsSettings.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/settings/__tests__/SkillsSettings.spec.tsx, webview-ui/src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json, webview-ui/playwright/gallery/stories.tsx, webview-ui/src/components/settings/__tests__/SkillsSettings.visual.tsx
Webview state stores diagnostics from skills messages. Settings displays localized warnings with diagnostic paths, optional locations, and messages. Tests cover state updates, rendering, and visual layout.
Validate discovery and repair apps/vscode-e2e/src/suite/skills-diagnostics.test.ts
The end-to-end test checks that malformed skills produce diagnostics while valid skills remain visible. It then checks that repairing frontmatter clears the diagnostic and loads the skill.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#2194: Changes translation data flow in SkillsSettings, which renders the diagnostic warning.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#1912: Changes safe file publication, path confinement, target revalidation, and temporary-file cleanup, which also apply to skill-file writes here.
Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code#1405: Adds guarded atomic publication and symlink checks, which connect to this PR’s SKILL.md write safeguards.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 38844
Skill creation can write outside the selected skills directory through a symlink; add root-containment validation before merging.
Security Architecture Review
Security architecture risk:🔵 Low · up to ea343
The change improves error visibility and consistency during overlapping scans. No concrete privilege-escalation or injection path was established, but trust expectations for external callers and some failure-recovery behavior remain uncertain.

No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — The snapshot includes discovered global and current-project skills from .roo and .agents directories, including mode-specific directories. The new method exposes their metadata and diagnostic paths through the extension export; it is not a new case in the inspected IPC command dispatcher.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — getSkillsState accepts no caller-controlled selector, performs no filesystem operation, and returns metadata rather than skill instructions. It has no caller-specific authorization or source filtering. The observed direct consumer is the end-to-end test suite; the supplied evidence does not establish a less-trusted production consumer.
observed — The API method itself does not mutate state, but its return value is not an immutable snapshot: metadata objects come directly from the manager map, and diagnostics are copied only at the array level. These accessors do not establish an isolation boundary for callers.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — An already-running discovery can publish after disposal because publication has no disposed-state guard. Normal provider cleanup removes the manager reference, limiting continued API reachability. A security-sensitive consumer using a retained manager reference was not established, so this is not retained as an introduced security concern.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — If test-only access or caller isolation is intended as a security guarantee, enforce that boundary explicitly and return detached snapshot objects. Documentation alone does not provide either guarantee; this is a hardening proposal, not a verified vulnerability.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "fix(skills): report YAML frontmatter parse errors and serialize SKILL.md safely" matches the main changes: parse diagnostics are reported through SkillDiagnostic and the settings panel, and SKILL.md writes now use serialization and atomic writes. It is specific and follows conventional commit style. It does not mention the discovery serialization or the settings crash fix, but it still names the primary change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template. It links issue #859 via "Fixes #859" and has Description, Test Procedure (in the Verification section), Additional Notes, and a Documentation Updates section. Its scope is large and the description explains it is stacked on #934 and lists the separate fixes. The description also omits the checklist, the Visual Snapshots section, the Get in Touch section, and a documentation-impact answer. The description is mostly complete, so the check passes, although the template's Simplified Technical English style is not followed throughout (for example, the long dash-led sentences and the parenthetical notes).
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue [#859] requires either successful loading of a SKILL.md with unescaped double quotes, or a clear parse error that names the cause and must not show the misleading "missing required 'name' field" message.
Evidence at the reviewed head:
src/services/skills/SkillsManager.ts defines getFrontmatterLine(). It returns the raw top-level description: line and its 1-based file line number.
The SkillYamlDumpOptions alias and SKILL_YAML_DUMP_OPTIONS (lineWidth: -1) apply to serialization of created and updated skills. Round-trip of double quotes is claimed by the PR tests.
The PR states that loadSkillMetadata() calls matter(fileContent, {}) to bypass the gray-matter cache. It also states that a parse failure records a SkillDiagnostic and logs the quote hint only when the parser mark is on a description: line with a double quote.
The tests named in the PR cover the exact #859 content, a valid quoted description with an error on another line, and a rescan of unchanged malformed content.
Limit: the head read was truncated at 16000 bytes before the loadSkillMetadata() parse block. The parse-block behavior rests on the PR description and the previous assessment, not on a full source read in this review.
No non-coding requirements apply.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
PASS. The changed persistence paths are createSkill and updateSkillModes. writeSkillFileAtomically() awaits exclusive temp-file creation, target validation, and same-directory rename (SkillsManager.ts:765-803). It removes owned temp files and rethrows the original failure. createSkill() awaits the atomic publish and removes its newly created empty skill directory on publish failure (:846-890). updateSkillModes() resolves and validates the real target before the atomic publish (:1234-1252). Empty mode defaults are serialized by omitting modeSlugs, and discovery maps an omitted or empty value to any mode (:502-529). No changed path leaves a non-atomic write, an unawaited persistence operation, or missing failure handling.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
PASS — no changed lifecycle path introduces a listener, watcher, or task leak. SkillsManager.initialize() is cached and checks isDisposed before discovery and watcher setup. watchDirectory() and syncContainerWatchers() stop creating watchers after disposal, and dispose() disposes both watcher collections. Discovery and directory-lock queues reject queued work for disposed managers. Atomic writes track temporary sidecars, clean them on failure, and remove tracked sidecars during disposal. The webview message listener retains its existing removeEventListener cleanup.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes that address [#859] connect to the issue. They are: the parse diagnostic with line and column data, the gray-matter cache bypass, the quote hint, the getFrontmatterLine() helper, the settings diagnostics panel, the i18n keys, the getSkillsState() accessor used by the e2e test, and the related tests.
The reviewed head still contains write-path and filesystem hardening that the [#859] expected outcomes do not require. The code at the head shows:
initialize() runs sweepStaleSkillTempFiles(). This deletes .SKILL.md.*.tmp sidecars older than ten minutes from skills roots and their direct child directories. It changes files on disk outside the diagnostics flow.
withDirectoryLock() and the static directoryQueues serialize sidecar cleanup and writes across manager instances.
Atomic write logic (writeSkillFileAtomically, activeTempFiles, and the dispose-time cleanup) is used by createSkill() and updateSkillModes().
Path containment and realpath checks in updateSkillModes() reject targets outside the configured skills roots.
Best-effort removal of newly created skill directories when persistence fails.
discoveryQueue serializes discovery. This part is related to #859 and is not flagged here.
The PR description's numbered Changes list does not describe these write-path, lock, containment, and sweep changes. The PR objectives list them as follow-up review work. The issue does not request them.
Resolution
Move the write-path hardening out of this PR. This covers the atomic SKILL.md writes, the directory locks and queues, the symlink and containment checks, the stale-sidecar sweep, the created-directory rollback, and their tests. Put them in a separate PR linked to its own issue, such as #2203 for the remaining publication race. Keep this PR to the [#859] changes: parse diagnostics with line and column data, the gray-matter cache bypass, the quote hint, serialized discovery, lineWidth: -1 serialization, the settings panel, the i18n keys, the e2e diagnostics test, and their tests. If RooCodeAPI.getSkillsState() stays, state in the PR that the e2e test requires it. Otherwise remove it.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
The changed atomic publication path still bypasses the skills-root allowlist. In src/services/skills/SkillsManager.ts, updateSkillModes() validates realpath(skill.path) at lines 1242-1243, but writeSkillFileAtomically() writes the full serialized content to temporaryPath at lines 783-784 before the callback validation at lines 786-788. If an attacker swaps the target directory or an ancestor to a symlink after the initial check, fs.writeFile() follows that ancestor and writes the content outside the configured root. fs.rename() also remains path-based and can be redirected after validation. This is a concrete allowlist bypass and can place skill content containing secrets or PII outside the approved skills root.
Resolution
Validate the target and every parent before staging, fail closed on every resolution failure, and use trusted directory handles with descriptor-relative exclusive temporary-file creation and rename. Apply O_NOFOLLOW or the platform equivalent where available. Revalidate through those handles immediately before publication so ancestor swaps cannot redirect the write.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
The createSkill rename-rejection path lacks focused coverage for its changed directory-cleanup behavior. createSkill() now calls fs.rmdir(skillDir) when writeSkillFileAtomically() fails after fs.rename() (SkillsManager.ts:880-886). The create rename fails test verifies the original error, temp-file unlink, and activeTempFiles, but only stubs mockRmdir; it does not assert the expected rename-fails path or that recursive mockRm is not called (SkillsManager.spec.ts:2400-2418). The write-failure test covers those assertions for a different failure point.
Resolution
Update the create rename-rejection test to assert expect(mockRmdir).toHaveBeenCalledWith(p(GLOBAL_ROO_DIR, "skills", "rename-fails")) and expect(mockRm).not.toHaveBeenCalled(). Keep the existing original-error, temporary-unlink, and activeTempFiles assertions.

….md safely
SKILL.md files whose description contains unescaped double quotes failed to parse silently: gray-matter's YAMLException was swallowed by the outer catch and users only saw a misleading "missing required 'name' field" log (issue Zoo-Code-Org#859).
- Catch gray-matter parse errors separately in loadSkillMetadata and log the actual YAML syntax error, with a hint pointing at unescaped double quotes in the description line
- Build createSkill frontmatter as data and serialize via matter.stringify so special characters (double quotes, YAML booleans such as "yes", etc.) are quoted automatically and created skills always load
- Pass lineWidth: -1 to the dump options (with a typed alias for gray-matter's outdated options typings) to keep long plain scalars on one line and prevent updateSkillModes rewrites from reflowing values into folded block scalars
- Add regression tests covering both the load path (invalid YAML is skipped with the real cause logged, no misleading field error) and the create path (quoted frontmatter round-trips and loads on re-discovery)
- Add settings:skills.diagnostics.title/description to all 17 non-English
locales; the diagnostics panel keys from Zoo-Code-Org#934 were only in en, which
failed the check-translations CI job (scripts/find-missing-translations.js).
- Add an updateSkillModes unit test (modeSlugs written, then cleared;
description survives the gray-matter round-trip un-reflowed), closing the
last patch-coverage gap on the SKILL.md serialization lines.
Zoo-Code-Org#934 added skillDiagnostics to ExtensionState as an optional field but
SkillsSettings read it without a fallback, so every SettingsView render
where the field is absent crashed with "Cannot read properties of
undefined (reading 'length')". This broke 14 webview tests in the
platform-unit-test CI job (SettingsView.change-detection and
SettingsView.unsaved-changes).
Mirror the existing skills handling: fall back to [] via useMemo.
…ndary
Add apps/vscode-e2e/src/suite/skills-diagnostics.test.ts covering the
real extension host -> SkillsManager -> file watcher flow that lower
layers cannot reach:
- Writes a healthy and a malformed (issue Zoo-Code-Org#859 content) SKILL.md into
the workspace's .roo/skills directory on real disk.
- Waits for the extension host's file watcher to re-discover and asserts
the malformed skill is omitted from getSkillsState().skills while a
diagnostic points at it, and the healthy skill is unaffected.
- Repairs the frontmatter in place and asserts the watcher clears the
diagnostic and loads the fixed skill.
Supports this with a test-only getSkillsState() on the exported
extension API (mirroring the existing getTaskHistoryItem pattern),
backed by ClineProvider.getSkillsManager().
Verified locally: bundle + webview build + USE_MOCK=true test:run with
TEST_FILE=skills-diagnostics.test.js -> 1 passing.
Unit coverage for the new extension API method used by the skill
diagnostics e2e smoke test: returns the skills manager's metadata and
diagnostics, and empty arrays when the manager is unavailable.
Closes the codecov/patch/webview-patch gap (4 not-fully-covered lines):
- ExtensionStateContext.spec.tsx: dispatch real "skills" messages through
the provider and assert skills/skillDiagnostics update, including the
empty-array default when the message omits skillDiagnostics.
- SkillsSettings.spec.tsx: render without skillDiagnostics in state
(the exact shape that used to crash) and render diagnostics with and
without line/column locations so every branch of the location
formatting is exercised.
Local: both specs 45/45 passing; lcov confirms all patch lines and
branches in both files are taken.
This test covers [] only. Add a case that omits newSkillModeSlugs, then assert that handleUpdateSkillModes() passes undefined to updateSkillModes() and posts the refreshed state. As per coding guidelines, include false or unset cases when defaults could hide omissions.

…se frontmatter deterministically
Addresses the CodeRabbit review findings and completes the patch coverage:
- Serialize discoverSkills() runs through a promise chain so overlapping
watcher-triggered scans never interleave; an older scan can no longer
append a stale diagnostic after a newer scan has observed the repaired
file.
- Only emit the unescaped-double-quotes hint when the parser error is
located on the description line itself, so a valid quoted description
plus an unrelated YAML error elsewhere no longer produces a misleading
hint.
- Parse SKILL.md frontmatter with explicit empty options so gray-matter's
global content-keyed cache is bypassed. The cache is populated before
parsing, so a frontmatter that throws on first parse is cached with an
empty data object and every later parse of the same content silently
returns that object instead of re-throwing - which resurfaces the
misleading "missing required 'name' field" symptom from issue Zoo-Code-Org#859.
Tests:
- SkillsManager.spec: regression test that a delayed older scan cannot
append stale diagnostics (serialization), a regression test that a
re-scan of unchanged malformed content keeps reporting the parse
failure (gray-matter cache poisoning), a no-false-hint case with a
valid quoted description and an error on another line, and a non-Error
parse failure exercising recordDiagnostic's defensive fallbacks
(gray-matter is now vi.mocked with the real parser as the default
implementation).
- ExtensionStateContext.spec: the skills message test now asserts the
transition that clears stored skills/diagnostics, including a message
that omits skills entirely.
- skills-diagnostics e2e: the malformed fixture is now a double-quoted
description with unescaped inner quotes (the exact Zoo-Code-Org#859 failure mode),
skill files are written atomically (sidecar + rename) so the watcher
only observes complete files, and teardown removes only the skill
directories the suite created.
- api-get-skills-state.spec: document why the partial test doubles need
as-unknown-as casts.
- skillsMessageHandler.spec: cover the omitted newSkillModeSlugs case
(passes undefined, still refreshes the posted state).
e2e teardown: only removes the skill directories this suite created; pre-existing fixtures under .roo/skills are left intact.
api-get-skills-state.spec: the partial doubles need a documented double-assertion; added a beforeEach comment explaining why it is a last resort.
serialize overlapping discovery runs (major): discoverSkills() is now a non-async serializer chaining each run onto a discoveryChain promise; a delayed older scan can no longer append a stale diagnostic after a newer scan observed the repaired file (regression test added).
quote hint scoped to the failing line: the "unescaped double quotes" hint is only emitted when the parser error mark is on the description line itself (regression test with a valid quoted description plus an error on another line).
state transition that clears diagnostics: the skills message test now asserts stored skills/diagnostics are cleared, including a message that omits skills entirely.
nitpick (typed message fixture / non-empty diagnostics assertion): the omitted-newSkillModeSlugs test declares a WebviewMessage instead of an as cast, and asserts a concrete non-empty diagnostic list is forwarded.
Additional root-cause fix found while making the e2e deterministic: gray-matter keeps a global content-keyed cache that it populates before parsing, so a frontmatter that throws on first parse was cached with an empty data object and every later parse of the same content silently returned that object instead of re-throwing (resurfacing the misleading "missing required name field" symptom). loadSkillMetadata() now parses with explicit empty options to bypass the cache, with a unit-level regression test that a re-scan of unchanged malformed content keeps reporting the parse failure.

…tion-safe init
Review follow-ups: staged SKILL.md temp files are created with flag wx so a pre-created symlink at the generated name cannot be followed, and updateSkillModes re-resolves the target immediately before the rename and re-validates it against the source skills roots. The rename-rejection tests now also assert the wx flag, that create cleanup removes only its own directory (rmdir, no recursive rm), and that the existing SKILL.md is not replaced. initialize() is idempotent/cancellation-safe: it tracks the initialization promise and stops after the stale sweep or discovery if the manager was disposed, and setupFileWatchers/watchDirectory return early when disposed (test: initialize after dispose starts no watchers). SkillsManager.spec.ts 122 passed; tsc clean.
Security Boundaries (error) — staging files are now created with exclusive creation (fs.writeFile(..., { flag: "wx" })), so a pre-created symlink at the generated temp name cannot be followed. updateSkillModes also re-resolves the target immediately before the rename and re-validates it against the source skills roots (the same containment check as the initial resolution), covering a target/ancestor swap between resolution and publish.
Regression Evidence (warning) — the two rename-rejection tests now also assert: the wx staging flag; createSkill cleanup removes only its own new skill directory via rmdir and never uses recursive rm; updateSkillModes performs exactly one write (to the temp sidecar), the rename targets the real SKILL.md and fails there, and the existing file is not replaced.
Lifecycle Resource Cleanup (warning) — initialize() is idempotent and cancellation-safe: it tracks the initialization promise, re-checks isDisposed after the stale-sidecar sweep and after discovery, and setupFileWatchers/watchDirectory return early when disposed. Added a test: initialize() after dispose() starts no file-system watchers.

…ly clean staged files this write owns
Review follow-ups: the stale-sidecar sweep pattern now matches the generated name (.SKILL.md.<ts>.<rand>.tmp) with a restart-cleanup test; a focused watcher-guard test runs setupFileWatchers under NODE_ENV=development, then disposes and asserts no watcher is created again; the atomic writer cleans up a staged sidecar unless exclusive creation failed with EEXIST (an existing file at the generated name belongs to someone else), with a test that preserves it. SkillsManager.spec.ts 125 passed.
Stale-sidecar pattern — the sweep regex now matches the writer's generated name (.SKILL.md.<timestamp>.<random>.tmp), and a restart-cleanup test seeds that exact name and asserts it is removed during the sweep.
Watcher guard coverage — added the requested focused test: under NODE_ENV=development, setupFileWatchers() creates a watcher; after dispose(), a second call creates none (the earlier initialize-after-dispose test is kept).
Staged-file ownership — the atomic writer only unlinks a temp sidecar when this write may own it: a wx failure with EEXIST leaves the existing file untouched (new test), while other failures still clean up a partial sidecar and rethrow the original error.

… directory
Review follow-ups: the stale-sidecar sweep only matches the writer-generated name (dot, SKILL.md, numeric timestamp, base36 suffix, .tmp), and a static per-directory queue shared by every SkillsManager instance wraps both the sweep and the atomic write create/validate/rename path so cleanup cannot unlink a sidecar another instance is writing. SkillsManager.spec.ts 125 passed.
Two review threads addressed (30e0e0196 superseded by 08b2447db + this fix)
Sidecar pattern narrowed — the sweep now matches only the writer's exact generated shape: ^\.SKILL\.md\.\d+\.[a-z0-9]+\.tmp$, so adjacent backup temp files are never unlinked; the restart-cleanup test seeds that exact name.
Per-directory serialization — a static per-directory queue (shared by every SkillsManager instance in the process) now wraps both the stale-sidecar sweep and the atomic write's create/validate/rename sequence, so cleanup cannot remove a sidecar another instance is still writing and two writes cannot interleave their validate/rename steps.

… by realpath
Review follow-ups: sweepStaleSkillTempFiles only removes matching sidecars older than ten minutes so a fresh file owned by a live write in another process is left alone; withDirectoryLock resolves the directory through fs.realpath before deriving its queue key (fallback path.resolve) so symlink aliases share one lock. Tests cover the fresh-sidecar survival and alias serialization. SkillsManager.spec.ts 126 passed; tsc clean.
Bounded stale threshold — the startup sweep only unlinks a matching sidecar when its mtime is at least 10 minutes old (SKILL_TEMP_SIDECAR_STALE_MS), so a fresh file that may belong to a live write in another process survives. A test seeds one old and one fresh matching sidecar and asserts only the old one is removed.
Symlink-aware lock key — withDirectoryLock now resolves the directory through fs.realpath before deriving the queue key (falling back to path.resolve when it cannot resolve), so a symlinked alias and its real path share one queue. A test runs two operations through an alias and the real path and asserts they stay serialized.
Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.
…tes disposal-aware
Review follow-ups: the pre-rename realpath has no fallback to the stale path (the error propagates, the owned sidecar is removed, and the rename is skipped), the update rename-rejection test asserts the existing SKILL.md and directory survive, and queued writes reject when the manager is disposed before the operation starts and re-check disposal after acquiring the directory lock and before staging/validation/rename. Descriptor-relative publication is tracked in Zoo-Code-Org#2203. SkillsManager.spec.ts 128 passed; tsc clean.
Persistence Integrity (error) — the pre-rename re-resolution no longer falls back to the stale path: fs.realpath(target) is awaited and its failure propagates, so the owned temporary sidecar is removed and the rename is skipped. The root-containment check runs on the fresh resolved path. New test: first resolution succeeds, the pre-rename resolution rejects, the write rejects with that error, the temp sidecar is unlinked, and no rename happens.
Regression Evidence (warning) — the updateSkillModes rename-rejection test now also asserts the existing SKILL.md is read (never rewritten), no write targets it, and neither rmdir nor recursive rm runs (so the skill directory survives). The create-side test already asserts rmdir on only its own new directory and no recursive rm.
Lifecycle Resource Cleanup (warning) — queued writes are disposal-aware: the queued operation rejects when the manager is disposed before it starts, and the atomic write re-checks disposal after acquiring the directory lock and immediately before staging, validation, and the rename; a disposal rejection still goes through the owned-sidecar cleanup. New test: a queued writeSkillFileAtomically after dispose() rejects with SkillsManager is disposed and never writes or renames.

updateSkillModes (and createSkill) dump through the shared SKILL_YAML_DUMP_OPTIONS (lineWidth: -1), and the spec now pins the behavior with descriptions long enough to fold: see should rewrite ... without reflowing the description (the description stays on a single description: line and updateSkillModes rewrites it) plus the corresponding create-side assertion. Removing lineWidth: -1 (or setting 80) folds those long descriptions and fails the tests.
Local: SkillsManager.spec.ts128 passed; all required checks green at the current head.
Review follow-up: block one withDirectoryLock operation, queue a second, dispose the manager, then release the first; the queued operation rejects with SkillsManager is disposed and its callback never runs. The end-to-end writeSkillFileAtomically disposal test stays. SkillsManager.spec.ts 129 passed.
Added the focused withDirectoryLock disposal test: the first operation is blocked inside the lock, a second operation is queued behind it, the manager is disposed, then the first is released. The queued operation rejects with SkillsManager is disposed and its callback never runs (secondRan === false). The end-to-end writeSkillFileAtomically disposal test is kept as the filesystem-level assertion.

When an existing directory or ancestor of skillDir is a symlink outside the configured skills root, fileExists(skillMdPath) can return false while following that symlink. Recursive fs.mkdir accepts the existing target, and writeSkillFileAtomically then renames the staged file through the same path. Because createSkill calls writeSkillFileAtomically(skillMdPath, skillContent) without containment validation, a create request can publish SKILL.md outside the configured root.
Apply the same realpath/root-containment validation used by updateSkillModes to the create path, or pass an equivalent validateTarget callback to writeSkillFileAtomically. This is distinct from the existing updateSkillModes guard because that guard is not reached by createSkill.

No CodeRabbit threads are open on this head (38844c7d1); the remaining human review is stale and was already answered. Recap of the state on this head:
Frontmatter diagnostics: missing/invalid YAML in SKILL.md now surfaces a structured parse error (path + reason) instead of silently dropping the skill from the catalog.
Temp-sidecar lifecycle: stale .SKILL.md.<pid>.<rand>.tmp sidecars older than 10 minutes are swept by a bounded, pattern-matched sweep; publication uses an atomic wx write with ownership tracking, and the directory queue is keyed by realpath so symlinked skill roots serialize on one lock.
Concurrency: per-directory queue serialization covers concurrent skill mutations; disposal checks keep a torn-down service from writing afterwards.
Tests: SkillsManager.spec.ts129 passed; tsc/eslint clean for the touched files.
Please re-review the head for any remaining pre-merge items.

Fixes #859
Stacked on #934 — that PR (also fixing #859) adds the structured
SkillDiagnosticcollection (SkillsManager.diagnostics/recordDiagnostic()/getSkillDiagnostics()) and the settings-page diagnostics panel. This PR keeps only the remaining gaps on top of it, so the diff stays minimal if #934 merges first and gets squashed.Problem (remainder after #934)
recordDiagnostic()reports the YAML exception, but the single most common trigger — unescaped double quotes in thedescription— still requires the user to read the raw YAML error and open the file. A targeted hint points at the exact line and the fix.dataobject, and every later parse of the same content silently returns that empty object instead of re-throwing — so a re-scan (watcher event, manual refresh) resurfaces the misleading "missing required 'name' field" symptom and drops the diagnostic.discoverSkills()runs; an older scan finishing after a newer one can append a stale diagnostic for an already-repaired skill.updateSkillModes()rewrites the file with js-yaml's defaultlineWidth: 80, reflowing long plain descriptions into folded block scalars (>-1) on every mode toggle — noisy diffs and format churn.createSkill()had the same exposure.skillDiagnosticsis absent. fix(skills): safely serialize skill frontmatter #934 made the field optional onExtensionState, butSkillsSettingsread it without a fallback — any render without it (and 14 webview tests in the unit-test CI job) crashed withCannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length').settings:skills.diagnostics.*i18n keys were only added toen, which fails thecheck-translationsCI job (all 17 non-English locales).handleUpdateSkillModespostMessage path, the malformed-load branches,updateSkillModes' serialization, and the extension-host → watcher → webview diagnostics flow had no tests.Changes
1. Deterministic frontmatter parsing + unescaped-quote hint (load path) —
src/services/skills/SkillsManager.tsloadSkillMetadata()now parses with explicit empty options (matter(fileContent, {})), bypassing gray-matter's global content cache so a malformed skill reports the same parse error on every scan instead of the first throw being cached as an empty data object.getFrontmatterLine()) extracts the raw top-leveldescription:line with its file line number; the "unescaped double quotes"console.errorhint is only emitted when the parser error's mark is located on that exact line — so a valid quoted description plus an unrelated YAML error elsewhere does not produce a misleading hint.2. Serialized discovery scans —
src/services/skills/SkillsManager.tsdiscoverSkills()is a non-async serializer chaining each run onto adiscoveryChainpromise; the body moved toperformDiscovery(). Overlapping watcher-triggered scans no longer interleave, so an older scan can no longer append a stale diagnostic after a newer scan has observed the repaired file.3. Stable SKILL.md serialization (create/update paths)
createSkill()andupdateSkillModes()now passlineWidth: -1(via a small typed alias, since gray-matter's bundled typings predate its js-yaml dump-options passthrough), keeping long plain values on a single line.yes) are quoted/escaped automatically and always round-trip.4. Settings crash fix —
webview-ui/src/components/settings/SkillsSettings.tsxskillDiagnosticsfalls back to[](same pattern as the existingskillshandling), so the component no longer crashes when the optionalExtensionStatefield is absent. Fixes the 14 webview test failures in the unit-test CI job.5. i18n completion —
webview-ui/src/i18n/locales/*/settings.jsonsettings:skills.diagnostics.title/descriptionto all 17 non-English locales (translated per locale), fixing thecheck-translationsCI failure.6. Tests
SkillsManager.spec.ts(gray-mattervi.mocked with the real parser as default implementation): a serialization regression test (a delayed older scan cannot append stale diagnostics), a gray-matter cache-poisoning regression test (a re-scan of unchanged malformed content must keep reporting the parse failure), the exact issue [Bug] SKILL.md YAML parsing fails silently when description contains unescaped double quotes #859 content (hint + diagnostic logged, misleading "missing required 'name' field" absent), a no-false-hint case with a valid quoted description and an error on another line, a non-Error parse failure exercisingrecordDiagnostic's defensive fallbacks, unterminated frontmatter with a dangling quote (diagnostic recorded, hint absent), create-path round-trip cases, and anupdateSkillModesserialization round-trip case.skillsMessageHandler.spec.ts: newhandleUpdateSkillModessuite (success, empty-slug clearing, omittednewSkillModeSlugs→undefinedwith a non-empty diagnostics list forwarded, missing fields, manager unavailable, rejected promise).ExtensionStateContext.spec.tsx: the skills-message test now asserts the transition that clears stored skills/diagnostics, including a message that omitsskillsentirely.api-get-skills-state.spec.ts: unit coverage for the new test-onlygetSkillsState()accessor (skills + diagnostics returned; empty arrays when the manager is unavailable).apps/vscode-e2e/src/suite/skills-diagnostics.test.ts(new): a real extension-host smoke test of the diagnostics flow — writes a healthy and a malformed (double-quoted description with unescaped inner quotes, the exact [Bug] SKILL.md YAML parsing fails silently when description contains unescaped double quotes #859 failure mode)SKILL.mdinto the workspace's.roo/skillson real disk via atomic sidecar+rename writes so the watcher only observes complete files, waits for the extension host's file watcher to re-discover, asserts the malformed skill is omitted with a diagnostic pointing at it while the healthy skill is unaffected, then repairs the frontmatter and asserts the watcher clears the diagnostic and loads the fixed skill. Teardown removes only the skill directories this suite created.Verification
Merge order
Merge #934 first, then this PR (no rebase needed: this branch already sits on #934's head plus upstream/main).
Updated this round (main refresh): merged upstream main (
58341d882). The only conflict was the frontmatter-parse block inSkillsManager.ts- this branch's parse-error handling (which already drops the unusedcontent: bodybinding main removed) kept; everything else auto-merged.Verification at this merge: SkillsManager + skillsMessageHandler + api-get-skills-state suites 141 passed; webview SkillsSettings + ExtensionStateContext 46 passed; ESLint
