How to validate the Skill package before modifying or releasing it with Hoist the Elephant

Run the package checks and build to confirm the Skill is structurally sound.

Who it is forA maintainer who forks or edits the Skill and wants to confirm the package is intact before sharing it.

The problemChanges to the Skill files could break its structure, and it is unclear whether the package still passes its checks.

The outcomeThe validation, test, and build scripts run, showing whether the package structure is intact and a release build can be made.

What you need first

  • An Agent host that supports the Agent Skills specification, such as one the cross-host skills CLI can install into
  • Node.js and npm, for the one-line install and the npm scripts
  • Access to the relevant conversation history, since the Skill reports gaps instead of rebuilding missing history

Steps

  1. Clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/jinhanbuilds/hoist-the-elephant.git and change into the folder (inferred, check the README)
  2. Install dependencies with npm install (inferred, check the README)
  3. Run npm run validate
  4. Run npm test
  5. Run npm run build

Prompt for your agent

In the hoist-the-elephant repository at <local path>, run npm run validate, npm test, and npm run build, then report each result. Verify that all three finish without errors before any change is proposed.

Caveat. The README says these checks establish structural integrity only, not that the Skill improves long conversations.
