What Validate Notes does

Validate Notes checks a note's YAML frontmatter, required fields, enum values, description quality, and wiki-link health against domain-specific templates. It warns rather than blocks capture, and triggers on '/validate', '/validate [note]', 'check schema', 'validate note', or 'validate all'.

Validate Notes is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Validate Notes comes from a repository tagged claude-code, claude-code-plugin, knowledge-base, knowledge-management and markdown.

README

Runtime Configuration (Step 0 — before any processing)

Read these files to configure domain-specific behavior:

  1. ops/derivation-manifest.md — vocabulary mapping, platform hints

    • Use vocabulary.notes for the notes folder name
    • Use vocabulary.note / vocabulary.note_plural for note type references
    • Use vocabulary.topic_map for MOC references
    • Use vocabulary.templates for the templates folder path

  2. ops/config.yaml — processing depth

    • processing.depth: deep | standard | quick

If these files don't exist, use universal defaults.

Processing depth adaptation:
