validate

validate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Chrisissorry/lazyslides. It costs 22 tokens per session (405 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checker and repair guide for LazySlides presentation YAML, the text format used to describe a slide deck. It explains validation errors and warnings and can apply approved corrections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate presentation files, understand what each problem means, and fix approved issues in the YAML.
Why use it?
It helps catch missing fields, invalid slide layouts, missing images, hidden slides, and mismatches between the stated and actual slide count.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

validate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Validate Presentations

You are helping the user validate their presentation YAML and fix any issues.

Step 1: Run Validation

pnpm run validate

Step 2: Interpret Results

Review the output and categorize issues:

Errors (must fix)

  • No valid YAML front matter — missing --- fences or malformed YAML
  • Missing required fieldtitle or slides missing from frontmatter
  • Missing template field — a slide is missing the template: key
  • Wrong comparison format — comparison slides must use rows: with left/right pairs

Warnings (should fix)

  • Unknown template — template name doesn't match one of the 19 valid types
  • Missing title — slide has no title (except quote which doesn't need one)
  • Missing image — image path in YAML doesn't exist on disk
  • Hidden slide — possible slide definition commented out
  • Slide count mismatchexpected_slides doesn't match actual count

Step 3: Propose Fixes

For each error:

  1. Explain what's wrong in plain language
  2. Show the problematic YAML
  3. Propose the corrected YAML

For each warning:

  1. Explain the risk
  2. Suggest a fix or explain why it's safe to ignore

Step 4: Apply Fixes

After the user approves, apply the fixes and re-run validation:

pnpm run validate

Repeat until all errors are resolved.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
