BB ali-esa-acme-ssl-skill
Automatically issue/renew HTTPS certificates using Alibaba Cloud ESA DNS + acme.sh (including wildcard *.example.com + example.com), with optional installation to Nginx. Trigger this skill when the user mentions ESA, ATrustDNS, _acme-challenge, acme.sh, Let's Encrypt, No TXT record found, InvalidRecordNameSuffix, wildcard certificate, or Nginx certificate configuration.
As a process B 68/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: result and completion, consistency, running it twice
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
- 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-keyunknown frontmatter key "homepage"
Process rating: all ten parameters 68/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 30Running it twice. 5 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (ali-esa-acme-ssl-skill) differs from the folder (acme-ssl-automation-for-alibaba-cloud-esa-dns)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 43 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Failures and branches. 4 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1545 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- medium 3 test cases, all positive: not one "should refuse" or "should ask first"
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.
