# Command Frontmatter Missing Name Field
|
||||
|
||||
## Date
|
||||
2026-02-03
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Commands MUST have a `name:` field in their YAML frontmatter. Without it, the skill won't be registered and the plugin appears to silently fail to load.
|
||||
|
||||
## What Happened
|
||||
|
||||
1. During the projman refactor (commit 2e65b60), commands were rewritten
|
||||
2. The `name:` field was NOT added to projman commands
|
||||
3. Other plugins (git-flow, claude-config-maintainer) got the name field during their refactors
|
||||
4. projman commands only had `description:` and `agent:` fields
|
||||
5. Skills for projman never appeared in the session
|
||||
|
||||
## Correct Command Frontmatter
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: sprint-plan
|
||||
description: Start sprint planning with AI-guided architecture analysis
|
||||
agent: planner
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Wrong (what we had)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
description: Start sprint planning with AI-guided architecture analysis
|
||||
agent: planner
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Why This Wasn't Caught
|
||||
|
||||
1. No validation script checks for `name:` field in command frontmatter
|
||||
2. The plugin "loads" but commands aren't registered as skills
|
||||
3. User only notices when trying to use the command
|
||||
|
||||
## Fix
|
||||
|
||||
Added `name:` field to all 12 projman commands matching the filename (without .md extension).
|
||||
|
||||
## Prevention
|
||||
|
||||
Add validation to `validate-marketplace.sh` to check that all command files have `name:` field in frontmatter.
