+# AQE Skill Validator Template v2.0.0
+# Copy this template to: .claude/skills/{skill-name}/scripts/validate.sh
+# =============================================================================
+#
+# This template provides a comprehensive validation framework for AQE skills.
+# It validates skill outputs against schemas, checks required content, and
+# provides graceful degradation when validation tools are unavailable.
+#
+# Usage: ./validate.sh <output-file> [options]
+#
+# Options:
+#   --self-test    Run validator self-test mode
+#   --verbose      Enable verbose output
+#   --json         Output results as JSON only
+#   --list-tools   Show available validation tools
+#   --help         Show this help message
+#
+# Exit Codes:
+#   0 - Validation passed (all checks successful)
+#   1 - Validation failed (one or more checks failed)
+#   2 - Validation skipped (missing required tools)
+#
+# Self-Test Mode:
+#   When called with --self-test, the validator will:
+#   1. Check all required tools are available
+#   2. Check all optional tools and report availability
+#   3. Validate the schema file exists and is valid JSON
+#   4. Run a basic validation with sample test data
+#   5. Report overall self-test status
+#
+# Graceful Degradation:
+#   - If required tools are missing, validation exits with code 2
+#   - If optional tools are missing, validation continues with reduced checks
+#   - Schema validation falls back: ajv -> jsonschema -> python3
+#   - JSON parsing falls back: jq -> python3 -> node
+#
