When does Claude trigger this skill?

Claude automatically invokes this skill whenever you create or modify a DAPR configuration file, or when you explicitly ask to validate your setup.

Which DAPR component types are supported?

The validator supports all major DAPR types including State Stores, Pub/Sub, Secret Stores, and Bindings for providers like Redis, Azure, Kafka, and more.

What files does the DAPR Configuration Validator check?

It scans the project root for dapr.yaml and recursively checks the components/ directory for any DAPR component YAML files.

Can it detect security vulnerabilities in my configurations?

Yes, it identifies hardcoded secrets or plain-text passwords and provides recommendations on using secretKeyRef for secure management.

Does it check for port conflicts?

Yes, it verifies that appPort values across your dapr.yaml configurations do not conflict and that appId values remain unique.

Cloud Infrastructure

Validates DAPR configuration and component YAML files to ensure schema compliance, security, and deployment readiness.

About

The DAPR Configuration Validator is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to streamline the development and deployment of DAPR-based microservices. It automatically inspects dapr.yaml and component definitions, identifying schema errors, missing required fields, and potential security risks like hardcoded secrets. By catching misconfigurations early in the development lifecycle, it prevents runtime failures and ensures that multi-cloud integrations for state stores, pub/sub, and bindings are correctly implemented according to DAPR's v1alpha1 specifications.
