# Skill Tester

**Tier**: POWERFUL · **Category**: Engineering Quality Assurance · **Dependencies**: None (Python stdlib only)

Meta-skill that validates, tests, and scores skills in this repository. Four tools, run from the **repo root** with full paths:

1. **`scripts/skill_validator.py`** — structure + documentation compliance
2. **`scripts/script_tester.py`** — Python script syntax/imports/runtime/output testing
3. **`scripts/quality_scorer.py`** — multi-dimensional scoring with letter grade
4. **`scripts/security_scorer.py`** — security posture scoring (also available via `quality_scorer.py --include-security`)

> **Scope note:** this skill's tier line-count minimums measure *legacy* skills. For authoring *new* skills, `engineering/write-a-skill` (SKILL.md under ~100 lines, Matt Pocock doctrine) is the binding standard — do not pad a new skill to satisfy a tier minimum here.

## Quick Start (exact, runnable from repo root)
