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. Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
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.

    Skill asks the runtime to inject credential env vars into its sandbox: SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN — verify each one is needed for the stated purpose

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning description-no-when neither description nor a "## When to Use" section says when to use the skill
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "prerequisites"
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "required_environment_variables"
  • note edit-residue the text marks something as outdated (lines 6, 20, 338): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions

Process rating: all ten parameters 51/100

  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 14 mutating operations with no state check
  • 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
  • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
  • 60Consistency. The Hermes dialect needs category and tags
  • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
  • 85Steps. 30 steps, 1 vague phrases
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3521 tokens
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low 13 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
  • low The response is described with custom markup (3 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.

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)
  • +3Description length 53: 120–800 characters recommended
  • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +4Structure: 23 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 30 items
  • +4Has examples (21 code blocks)
  • +1License stated

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 68.
