The description contained `command not found: sem-ai` — an unquoted colon-space that strict YAML parsers read as a mapping key, so Codex rejected the file with "mapping values are not allowed in this context" and skipped loading the skill. Claude Code's parser tolerated it, hiding the bug. Single-quote the value (apostrophe doubled) so it parses as a plain string everywhere; the rendered text is unchanged. The other 16 skills already parse as valid YAML (verified with yq). Closes #43 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Closes #43.
Codex skipped loading the
sem-ai-bootstrapskill with:Cause: the
descriptionvalue containscommand not found: sem-ai. The unquoted:(colon-space) is parsed as akey: valuemapping by strict YAML parsers, so Codex rejects the frontmatter. Claude Code's looser parser accepted it, which hid the bug.Fix: single-quote the description (with the lone apostrophe in
isn'tdoubled per YAML rules). The rendered string is byte-for-byte unchanged.Verified with
yq: the fixed file parses, the description round-trips exactly, and all 17 bundledSKILL.mdfrontmatters are now valid YAML (the other 16 already were — they have no colon-space in the value).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
