* Drop frontmatter metadata from the OpenAI copy of the canonical skill The OpenAI plugin portal rejected the Skills-only ZIP on skills/avoid-ai-writing/SKILL.md: "Skill interface settings must use agents/openai.yaml ... `metadata` in SKILL.md does not configure the skill interface." That copy was byte-identical to root SKILL.md, whose frontmatter carries an agentskills.io/OpenClaw `metadata` block (author, repository, tags, agentskills_spec, openclaw.emoji). - sync-plugin-skill.sh writes the OpenAI copy with the `metadata` block removed from the frontmatter; everything else stays identical. The Claude plugin copy is unchanged. - validate-openai-plugin.py compares root-minus-metadata to the copy for its drift check and rejects a `metadata` key in any packaged skill's SKILL.md, so the portal error cannot recur silently. - validate-openai-plugin.test.py covers the transform (body untouched, version/license/compatibility kept, no-frontmatter passthrough, copy in sync) and three red controls: a byte-identical copy fails both rules, a body edit still reads as drift, and `metadata` in another skill fails. Verified: validate-openai-plugin.test.py, validate-openai-plugin.py . (OK), npm test, and the rebuilt archive validates after extraction. The rebuilt ZIP was accepted by the portal's upload validation.

The key match now requires whitespace or end of line after `metadata:`, comment lines inside the block are skipped with it, and both cases have tests.
