+Seven `*/schema-valid` rules — for `plugin-json`, `settings-json`, `skill-md`, `agent-md`, `command-md`, `lsp-json` and `monitors-json` — validate against JSON Schemas that are *auto-extracted from Claude Code's cli.js bundle* — the same Zod schemas the runtime calls `.safeParse(content)` on. This catches:
 
 - **Missing required fields** (e.g., LSP server without `extensionToLanguage`)
 - **Wrong field types** (e.g., `name: 42` instead of a string)
