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.
