CD ask-cargo
One agent the whole team @mentions in Slack, sitting on top of your GTM repo and workspace: it answers from context, cadence and live runs, turns change requests into pull requests, captures a thread worth keeping into the cadence log and context, and hands work to the other deployed agents only after a go in the thread. Triggers: "let the team ask our GTM agent from slack", "one agent on top of all the others", "a slack bot that knows our repo", "ask cargo from slack", "orchestrator agent for our GTM stack", "let anyone open a PR from slack", "capture this slack thread into our context". Cargo CDK, defineAgent, harness claudeCode, Slack connector trigger, GitHub, cargo-ai CLI. Skip when: you want the day recapped and posted to Slack on a schedule, which is standup; or you want an answer in this chat right now with nothing deployed.

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 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
- 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 49/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 29 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5411 tokens
- 100Steps. 36 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low The response is described with custom markup (4 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.
