RDLC bundled skill fails YAML frontmatter parse due unquoted colon #3

Description

@BaseInfinity

Summary

Codex startup reports an invalid YAML warning for the bundled RDLC skill frontmatter.

Evidence

Observed warning:

/Users/stefanayala/.codex/skills/codex-rdlc-wizard/plugins/codex-rdlc-wizard/skills/rdlc/SKILL.md: invalid YAML: mapping values are not allowed in this context at line 2 column 60

Installed local package metadata:

codex-rdlc-wizard 0.1.0
repository: BaseInfinity/codex-rdlc-wizard

The failing frontmatter line is:

description: Full RDLC workflow for Codex research projects: evidence gathering, confidence labels, audience-firewalled deliverables, fact regressions, slop scan, and review.

Likely Cause

The description value is a plain YAML scalar containing an unquoted colon after projects. Some YAML parsers treat that as a mapping delimiter and reject the frontmatter.

Expected Fix

Quote the description or remove/reword the colon, then add a package/frontmatter validation regression for all bundled SKILL.md files under plugins/ and skills/.

Related Observation

The same startup also warned that [features].codex_hooks is deprecated in favor of [features].hooks; that was repaired locally in visualhud, but this issue is specifically for the RDLC YAML parse failure.
