Validate installed Bullpen skill files against this CLI's embedded bundle

Usage: bullpen skill validate [OPTIONS]

Options:
      --output <OUTPUT>
          Output format for command results

          [possible values: table, json]

      --project
          Validate project-local directory

      --env <ENV>
          Target environment to connect to (overrides config.toml)

          [env: BULLPEN_ENV=]
          [possible values: staging, production]

      --path <PATH>
          Validate a custom directory path

      --claude
          Target Claude Code only

      --config <CONFIG>
          Path to a custom config.toml file (overrides $BULLPEN_CONFIG and the default location).

          Explicit --config and BULLPEN_CONFIG paths fail closed: if the file is missing, the CLI exits validation instead of silently loading defaults. Credentials still resolve via BULLPEN_HOME, so set BULLPEN_HOME too when isolating a session.

      --openclaw
          Target OpenClaw only

      --codex
          Target Codex (OpenAI) only

      --gemini
          Target Gemini only

      --read-only
          Enable read-only mode: blocks all mutating commands

      --non-interactive
          Suppress interactive prompts; does NOT imply --yes for money-moving commands

          [env: BULLPEN_NON_INTERACTIVE=]

  -h, --help
          Print help (see a summary with '-h')

EXAMPLES:
  bullpen skill validate --help

Example Commands

bullpen skill validate [OPTIONS]
bullpen skill validate --help
bullpen skill validate --output json

JSON Output

Contract: JSON Output Contract.

This command supports --output json, but this generated reference page intentionally does not include a synthetic success schema or example.

Use the live command in your target environment to inspect command-specific success fields. Error output follows the shared JSON output contract linked above.

Schema version: 1 when a command emits schema_version; otherwise treat the current command shape as contract version 1.

Stability

Patch releases may add nullable or optional fields. Minor releases may add required fields or increment schema_version. Major releases may remove or rename fields.
