+Both run on pre-commit via Husky. `validate:skills` checks frontmatter shape against its own Zod schema (`EvaluatorYamlSchema` in `scripts/validate-skills.ts`) — a separate, hand-maintained schema from the runtime loader's `EvaluatorFrontmatterSchema` in `core/src/evaluators/schema.ts` (whose `standards` field is a fully open string-to-string record, so it never rejects a taxonomy key). Keep the two in sync manually when adding a new `standards` key.
