What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Broad scope medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

The skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.

For the author

Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.

How to improve

  1. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
  2. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning body-long SKILL.md body ≈ 5117 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: assets/beamer_template_conference.tex
  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: assets/beamer_template_seminar.tex
  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: assets/beamer_template_defense.tex

Process rating: all ten parameters 39/100

Will not run. References files that are not bundled: assets/beamer_template_conference.tex, assets/beamer_template_seminar.tex, assets/beamer_template_defense.tex
  • 0Tools and files. 3 referenced file(s) missing: assets/beamer_template_conference.tex, assets/beamer_template_seminar.tex, assets/beamer_template_defense.tex
  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 14 mutating operations with no state check
  • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
  • 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5117 tokens
  • 85Steps. 113 steps, 2 vague phrases
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
  • low 11 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

Quality signals

  • +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
  • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
  • -34 of 7 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 327: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 18 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 113 items
  • +3Output format is stated explicitly
  • +4Has examples (8 code blocks)
  • +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (11 of 11)
  • +1License stated

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 67.
