DF install
Fresh-machine bootstrap of the ralphy CLI binary. Read .agents/skills/install/references/ralphy-install.md FIRST via the Read tool — every time, no exceptions. USE WHEN the ralphy binary is NOT yet on PATH or needs upgrading for the plugin — install the standalone binary, initialize a local Workspace without a checkout, and configure scoped provider credentials privately. Use doctor for external rendering prerequisites. TRIGGER (EN): "install ralphy", "set up from scratch", "fresh machine", "first run", "bootstrap the CLI", "I just cloned the repo", "I don't have ralphy yet", "ralphy not found", "/install". ALSO FIRE if `which ralphy` returns nothing in a session about to use ralphy commands, OR `ralphy status` errors with "Could not locate the ugc-cli project". DO NOT FIRE if ralphy is already installed and the user just wants `ralphy doctor` / env check (that is ralph-core), or wants to install template assets from the companion repo (that is `ralphy assets`). KEYWORDS: install, bootstrap, fresh machine, ralphy binary, GitHub Releases, install.sh, bun, ffmpeg, ralphy setup, setup wizard, PATH, ~/.local/bin/ralphy, link project.

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 skill contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.
Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.
How to improve
- Shorten the description to 1024 characters.
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- 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.

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.
