中文(ZH) description 里一个冒号，3 条命令直接搜不到：一次 YAML 解析失败的实测

Claude Code skills hidden by YAML parsing error in descriptions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A technical issue was identified where the `agent-skills-en` package, containing five Claude Code skills, only surfaced two of the five commands when added via `npx skills add`. The root cause was traced to the `description` field within the `SKILL.md` files, where unquoted ASCII colons followed by a space were misinterpreted by the YAML parser as delimiters, causing the entire line to fail parsing. This effectively made the skills invisible to the tool. The fix involved enclosing the problematic descriptions in double quotes, ensuring correct YAML parsing and making all five skills discoverable. AI
