CD exfer
Exfer is a permissionless proof-of-work blockchain for autonomous machine-to-machine commerce. It combines Argon2id memory-hard mining, an extended UTXO model, and Exfer Script — a total functional combinator language — for transaction conditions. Use when an agent needs to send payments, check balances, create hash-time-locked contracts (HTLCs), mine blocks, or interact with blockchain-based machine commerce.
As a process D 47/100 · Unfinished process — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, inputs and preconditions
What is at stake
The skill contains fragments that, in the wrong hands, cost money or data. Below: what the installer risks and what the author should do.
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
- Address the high-severity findings: each costs 18 safety points. If one is a false positive, add the rule id to guard.allow in spec.yaml.
- 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 47/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 11 mutating operations with no state check
- 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5386 tokens
- 100Steps. 19 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- low 17 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.
