Deterministic JSON tools

Let the agent call a validator instead of guessing

The ValBuddy CLI skill packages instructions, scripts, and references around valbuddy.exe. An agent can invoke a named operation, return structured diagnostics, and keep the input, schema, command, and result visible to the developer who owns the change.

Validate JSON and XML

Check JSON against JSON Schema, validate XML with its supported schema language, or run a well-formedness check before deeper processing.

Format and process files

Pretty-print JSON and run repeatable settings-based tasks without asking the agent to reimplement the transformation.

Use the same skill contract

The skill follows the SKILL.md pattern used by agent tools that support reusable skill folders.
