Configuration Validation

Overview

This public intake copy packages

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/deployment-validation-config-validate

https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

Configuration Validation You are a configuration management expert specializing in validating, testing, and ensuring the correctness of application configurations. Create comprehensive validation schemas, implement configuration testing strategies, and ensure configurations are secure, consistent, and error-free across all environments.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Context, Requirements, Output Format, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• Working on configuration validation tasks or workflows
• Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for configuration validation
• The task is unrelated to configuration validation
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: You are a configuration management expert specializing in validating, testing, and ensuring the correctness of application configurations. Create comprehensive validation schemas, implement configurat.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

        ]

        config_files = []
        for pattern in config_patterns:
            for file_path in Path(project_path).glob(pattern):
                if not self._should_ignore(file_path):
                    config_files.append({
                        'path': str(file_path),
                        'type': self._detect_config_type(file_path),
                        'environment': self._detect_environment(file_path)
                    })

                        })
        return issues

2. Schema Validation

Implement configuration schema validation with JSON Schema:

import Ajv from 'ajv';
import ajvFormats from 'ajv-formats';
import { JSONSchema7 } from 'json-schema';

interface ValidationResult {
  valid: boolean;
  errors?: Array<{
    path: string;
    message: string;
    keyword: string;
  }>;
}

export class ConfigValidator {
  private ajv: Ajv;

  constructor() {
    this.ajv = new Ajv({
      allErrors: true,
      strict: false,
      coerceTypes: true
    });
    ajvFormats(this.ajv);
    this.addCustomFormats();
  }

  private addCustomFormats() {
    this.ajv.addFormat('url-https', {
      type: 'string',
      validate: (data: string) => {
        try {
          return new URL(data).protocol === 'https:';
        } catch { return false; }
      }
    });

    this.ajv.addFormat('port', {
      type: 'number',
      validate: (data: number) => data >= 1 && data <= 65535
    });

    this.ajv.addFormat('duration', {
      type: 'string',
      validate: /^\d+[smhd]$/
    });
  }

  validate(configData: any, schemaName: string): ValidationResult {
    const validate = this.ajv.getSchema(schemaName);
    if (!validate) throw new Error(`Schema '${schemaName}' not found`);

    const valid = validate(configData);

    if (!valid && validate.errors) {
      return {
        valid: false,
        errors: validate.errors.map(error => ({
          path: error.instancePath || '/',
          message: error.message || 'Validation error',
          keyword: error.keyword
        }))
      };
    }
    return { valid: true };
  }
}

// Example schema
export const schemas = {
  database: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      host: { type: 'string', format: 'hostname' },
      port: { type: 'integer', format: 'port' },
      database: { type: 'string', minLength: 1 },
      user: { type: 'string', minLength: 1 },
      password: { type: 'string', minLength: 8 },
      ssl: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          enabled: { type: 'boolean' }
        },
        required: ['enabled']
      }
    },
    required: ['host', 'port', 'database', 'user', 'password']
  }
};

3. Environment-Specific Validation

from typing import Dict, List, Any

class EnvironmentValidator:
    def __init__(self):
        self.environments = ['development', 'staging', 'production']
        self.environment_rules = {
            'development': {
                'allow_debug': True,
                'require_https': False,
                'min_password_length': 8
            },
            'production': {
                'allow_debug': False,
                'require_https': True,
                'min_password_length': 16,
                'require_encryption': True
            }
        }

    def validate_config(self, config: Dict, environment: str) -> List[Dict]:
        if environment not in self.environment_rules:
            raise ValueError(f"Unknown environment: {environment}")

        rules = self.environment_rules[environment]
        violations = []

        if not rules['allow_debug'] and config.get('debug', False):
            violations.append({
                'rule': 'no_debug_in_production',
                'message': 'Debug mode not allowed in production',
                'severity': 'critical'
            })

        if rules['require_https']:
            urls = self._extract_urls(config)
            for url_path, url in urls:
                if url.startswith('http://') and 'localhost' not in url:
                    violations.append({
                        'rule': 'require_https',
                        'message': f'HTTPS required for {url_path}',
                        'severity': 'high'
                    })

        return violations

4. Configuration Testing

import { describe, it, expect } from '@jest/globals';
import { ConfigValidator } from './config-validator';

describe('Configuration Validation', () => {
  let validator: ConfigValidator;

  beforeEach(() => {
    validator = new ConfigValidator();

    const config = {
      host: 'localhost',
      port: 5432,
      database: 'myapp',
      user: 'dbuser',
      password: 'securepass123'
    };

    const result = validator.validate(config, 'database');
    expect(result.valid).toBe(true);
  });

  it('should reject invalid port', () => {
    const config = {
      host: 'localhost',
      port: 70000,
      database: 'myapp',
      user: 'dbuser',
      password: 'securepass123'
    };

    const result = validator.validate(config, 'database');
    expect(result.valid).toBe(false);
  });
});

5. Runtime Validation

The user needs to validate configuration files, implement configuration schemas, ensure consistency across environments, and prevent configuration-related errors. Focus on creating robust validation rules, type safety, security checks, and automated validation processes.

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @deployment-validation-config-validate to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @deployment-validation-config-validate against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @deployment-validation-config-validate for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @deployment-validation-config-validate using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/deployment-validation-config-validate

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated

SKILL.md

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
