BC model-supply-chain
Reviews AI/ML model supply chains for security risks including model provenance verification, training data lineage, fine-tuning pipeline integrity, inference dependency review, and backdoor detection. Auto-invoked when reviewing systems that download pre-trained models, fine-tune foundation models, or deploy models from third-party sources. Produces a structured assessment mapped to OWASP LLM03:2025, SLSA v1.0 supply chain levels, and MITRE ATLAS poisoning and supply chain techniques.

As a process C 55/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: when it triggers, inputs and preconditions, failures and branches
What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The text contains phrases like "ignore previous instructions" or "you are now…". That is an attempt to hijack the agent: it may break your rules, the system limits or company policy.
An honest skill does not need them: state the role and the rules directly without overriding other instructions. Otherwise catalog scanners and corporate filters will block the listing.
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- 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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 55/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (model-supply-chain) differs from the folder (supply-chain-enterprise-security-skill)
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 6943 tokens
- 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
- 100Steps. 57 steps
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
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.
