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

    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

    • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "authors"
    • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "required_environment_variables"
    • note edit-residue the text marks something as outdated (lines 147, 228): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions

    Process rating: all ten parameters 49/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 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
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 60Consistency. The Hermes dialect needs category and tags
    • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
    • 100Steps. 26 steps
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2258 tokens
    • 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
    • low The response is described with custom markup (9 tags): a typed call is more reliable

    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.
