Metadata is the human-facing description of a skin, referenced from the manifest’s metadata field.

Example

{
  "name": "Acme Dark",
  "author": "acme",
  "description": "A calm, high-contrast dark theme for long sessions.",
  "license": "MIT",
  "tags": ["dark", "minimal", "high-contrast"]
}

Rules

• license MUST be a valid SPDX identifier so usage terms are unambiguous.
• author MUST be present — credit is a first-class value in the ecosystem.
