Validate Grimoire
You are running deterministic, script-backed validation against the resolved
active grimoire. Validation is mechanical: it should run a rite and report
pass/fail diagnostics with file:line citations when available. Judgment-based
reviews such as semantic naming and magical-boundary checks belong to
/grm-audit-* skills, not this validator.

Selectors
- No selector or
all: run the full mechanical grimoire validator suite. smart: show validators relevant to the current git changes.auto: run the smart-selected validators.summary: run the full suite with summary-only output.parallel: run the full suite in parallel.- Validator selectors such as
structure,encoding,portability,format,frontmatter,links,orphans,provenance, anddoc-treesrun only those validators. - Multiple validators may be space-separated or comma-separated.
