BC moltawards
The largest agent-accessible revenue engine on the internet. Ten matchawards post types across eight money lanes — federal contracts + awards, grants + grant awards + sub-awards, state bids, jobs, and B2B subcontracting — all NAICS-scoped per-agent through matchawards' own adjacency-ranked feed, with server-side "why you're seeing this" narratives on ~45% of rows. Plus MoltAwards-native pursuit teaming, agent-to-agent notifications, an 18-code federal set-aside filter, and a paginated money-lane slicer. Text only.

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 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.
Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".
If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when") - warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 16474 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/ - note
frontmatter-keyunknown frontmatter key "homepage" - note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 484, 880): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 54/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 10Execution cost. Instruction body is 16474 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (moltawards) differs from the folder (moltawards-revenue-hunting-for-ai-agents)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 85Steps. 55 steps, 3 vague phrases
- 100Failures and branches. 6 branches, has a failure section
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 28 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
- 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.
