Skill dependencies must be an array of strings

Error

Rule Details ​

The dependencies field declares other skills or packages that this skill depends on. It must be a YAML array of strings. Malformed values (e.g., a single string, a number, or nested objects) will cause runtime errors when the system tries to resolve dependencies. This rule delegates to the Zod schema for validation.

Incorrect ​

Dependencies as a single string instead of an array

yaml
---
name: deploy
description: Deploys the application
dependencies: build
---

Dependencies with non-string entries

yaml
---
name: deploy
description: Deploys the application
dependencies:
  - 123
  - true
---

Correct ​

Valid dependencies array

yaml
---
name: deploy
description: Deploys the application
dependencies:
  - build
  - test
---

No dependencies field (optional)

yaml
---
name: lint
description: Runs linting checks
---

How To Fix ​

Ensure the dependencies field is a YAML array where each entry is a string representing a skill name or package identifier.

Options ​

This rule does not have any configuration options.
