Skill name must be at most {MAX_SKILL_NAME_LEN} characters

Error message

Skill name must be at most {MAX_SKILL_NAME_LEN} characters

What it means

Returned by validate_name when the skill name exceeds MAX_SKILL_NAME_LEN characters. The limit keeps skill directory names and frontmatter manageable; the field error is shown and saving is blocked until the name is shortened.
