/gz-validate¶
Validate governance artifacts against schema rules. Use when checking manifest, ledger, document, or surface validity.
Purpose¶
/gz-validate exposes the canonical gz-validate workflow for operator invocation. It runs one validator per --<scope> flag, or the whole default tier when no flag is given, and reads the exit code and findings back.
When to Use¶
Invoke this skill when the task described above matches your current workflow stage. The governance runbook at docs/governance/governance_runbook.md lists the canonical workflows and points at this skill where appropriate.
What to Expect¶
The skill reads its canonical execution contract from .gzkit/skills/gz-validate/SKILL.md (mirrored into .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, and .github/skills/). Follow the agent-facing instructions in that file for the exact execution protocol, stages, and evidence requirements.
