-// self-test.mjs — Tier 1 static linter for rdc-skills
-//
-// Validates every skill file in skills/ against a checklist:
-//   1. File parseable (readable, has frontmatter)
-//   2. Frontmatter YAML valid (name + description required)
-//   3. description does NOT start with backtick (breaks Claude Code parser)
-//   4. description contains a `Usage `rdc:<name>` marker matching this skill
-//   5. frontmatter name matches filename (rdc:foo ↔ rdc-foo.md)
-//   6. Every referenced guide file exists (guides/*.md references)
-//   7. Every referenced rule file exists (.claude/rules/*.md references)
-//   8. Body contains the standard output-contract banner
-//   9. Plugin manifest (.claude-plugin/plugin.json) exists, parses, has name+version,
-//      and version matches package.json
-//  10. No duplicate skill names; no filename collisions with guides/agents/*.md
-//  11. Hook files referenced by skills exist; orphan hook files get a warning
-//
-// Usage:
-//   node scripts/self-test.mjs                  # run all, human output, exit 1 on fail
-//   node scripts/self-test.mjs --json           # machine-readable schema v2
-//   node scripts/self-test.mjs --skill rdc:foo  # single skill
-//   node scripts/self-test.mjs --strict         # warnings become failures
-//   node scripts/self-test.mjs --fix            # auto-repair fixable findings
-//
-// Exit codes:
-//   0 = all pass
-//   1 = at least one skill/guide failure
-//   2 = runner crashed (unreadable dirs, etc.)
-//   3 = plugin manifest missing (distinct from skill failures)

+//
+// Validates every skill file in skills/ against a checklist:
+//   1. File parseable (readable, has frontmatter)
+//   2. Frontmatter YAML valid (name + description required)
+//   3. description does NOT start with backtick (breaks Claude Code parser)
+//   4. description contains a `Usage `rdc:<name>` marker matching this skill
+//   5. frontmatter name matches filename (rdc:foo ↔ rdc-foo.md)
+//   6. Every referenced guide file exists (guides/*.md references)
+//   7. Every referenced rule file exists (.claude/rules/*.md references)
+//   8. Body contains the standard output-contract banner
+//   9. Plugin manifest (.claude-plugin/plugin.json) exists, parses, has name+version,
+//      and version matches package.json
+//  10. No duplicate skill names; no filename collisions with guides/agents/*.md
+//  11. Hook files referenced by skills exist; orphan hook files get a warning
+//
+// Usage:
+//   node scripts/self-test.mjs                  # run all, human output, exit 1 on fail
+//   node scripts/self-test.mjs --json           # machine-readable schema v2

+//   node scripts/self-test.mjs --strict         # warnings become failures
+//   node scripts/self-test.mjs --fix            # auto-repair fixable findings
+//
+// Exit codes:
+//   0 = all pass
+//   1 = at least one skill/guide failure
+//   2 = runner crashed (unreadable dirs, etc.)
+//   3 = plugin manifest missing (distinct from skill failures)
